photo 4 I cannot remember where we were, but my husband ordered a Boursin Gratin. I am not usually a fan of potatoes but those were so fragrant that i had to try them. I was surprised by the taste. It had “un je ne sais quoi” that simply made me want to eat more. And it melted in my mouth…. It was so so good. Because I did not dare to ask the waiter what was the recipe, I tried to come up with mine. So here it is. My husband declares that they are out of this world. He is German, he knows his potatoes so i will believe him;-) I dare you to try.

Ingredients for 12 large cupcakes size:

  • 1 1/2 bag of frozen hash browns ( each bag being 30oz.)
  • 1 1/2 cup of heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 box of Boursin Cheese ( French Cream Cheese flavored with herbs and garlic) Cheaper at Costco!!!
  • 1 1/2 tbsp of garlic salt ( I used Lawry’s Garlic Salt)
  • 1/8 tsp of pepper

1. Defrost the hash brown by either placing the bags in your fridge overnight, or by placing the hashbrown in the large round mold, covering it with the octagonal silpat and microwaving it for 3 minutes.photo 1 2. In a large bowl, mix the cream, the Boursin cheese, the garlic salt and the pepper.

3. Then add the defrosted hash browns. Mix well.

4. Place this mixture into the opening of the large muffin pan that you would have placed on top of a medium perforated sheet. ( It is great for portion control;-) You do not need to spray any oil in the Demarle Cookware, however you will need to, if using any other mold.photo 2 5. And cook for 30 minutes at 400 or until the potatoes are a golden brown. You may need to cook longer if you are using tin muffin pan. Also do not forget to spray them with oil.photo 3 6.

If today casseroles are no longer part of our  dinner menu, they used to be more present on our table many years ago. Et oui ( well, yes), as a young bride and a young mother I tried to fix meals that were recommended by my friends and casseroles were often the suggestions i received. Some i loved and some I really did not… But all in all, they slowly disappeared from our menu because they were not really that healthy for us ( and me who slowly developed bad cholesterol), and my husband who never really was fond of  them anyway( the picky eater that he is).

Well the reason why i am presenting this recipe today is because i was trying to think of quick easy recipe for a cooking class I did last week for busy moms like me and an old potato recipe came to me.  You may have fixed this recipe 10 years ago. It was very popular then. It had shredded potato, a cream of mushroom, and sour cream.

I will tell you that I did not even thought to look for the recipe. I just thought to add whatever I thought would taste great so there it is;-)

Ingredients for about 15 large cupcakes size, or about 38 mini cupcakes:

  • 1 bag of shredded potato thawed out
  • 1 can of cream of onion ( from any brand)
  • 1 cup of sour cream or even ricotta
  • 1/2 cup of finely diced onion ( I used purple)
  • 1/2 cup of green onion
  • 2 cups of cheddar cheese ( one for the mixture and one for the topping)
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1/2 tsp of pepper

( I think adding 1 cup of bacon bits would be great to this recipe also;-)

  1. Turn the oven to 400.
  2. Place a large cupcake tray, or a  mini cupcake tray onto a medium perforated sheet and set aside.
  3. PLace all the ingredients into  a large bowl. image
  4. Mix everything together.image
  5. And fill the cupcakes to the top.
  6. Sprinkle some cheese over the top of each cupcake. Cook for 20-30 minutes.image
  7. Easy and Yummy ( and hardly anything to clean since those molds are non-stick!!!
