Cheesy Potatoes

Filed Under: Cooking with canning Tagged With: Potatoes

Cheesy-potatoes-2001

This is a quick and easy baked potato dish.

You can throw it together in minutes because you did most of the work already back when you did your canning.

It’s extremely calorie-wise, too. Makes 4 generous 250 g / ½ lb portions for just 96 calories a portion.

You will need a 2 litre (2 US quart) casserole dish.

The recipe is easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd (just use a larger baking dish accordingly.)

(To be clear, this is a “cooking with canning you have already done” recipe. This is not a recipe for canning.)

Notes

If you will want a thicker sauce, add another tablespoon of corn starch. Won't affect nutrition much.
Feel free to add more cheese or any cheese of your liking: the cheese quantity is low here in an effort to keep it low-cal, but you can splurge a bit more if desired.

What's New in Home Canning

Quote of the day

“THE preservation of fruits and vegetables by canning is now an exact and known science. Our grandmothers, and even our mothers, were content to lose entirely many quarts of fruit each year; and they were never surprised to find a layer of mold on top of each jar. Science has made wonderful advances, however, and in these days any woman can preserve fruit and vegetables without the loss of a single jar or a trace of mold.”
