This is an interesting recipe sent to me from an Amish woman in Wisconsin. Â Not sure why they are called "courtship potatoes", other than she referenced that this was a favorite recipe to make for her future husband while they were dating. Â The recipe must have worked since they are now married:), and this dish does sound good, so if you are courting someone, make these potatoes!
Courtship Potatoes
Ingredients
- 6 large potatoes
- 1 stick butter
- 2 cups sharp cheese, shredded
- 2 /3 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (16 ounce cup) sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil potatoes in jackets until they are soft and then chill overnight.
- The next day, peel and grate the potatoes by hand and set aside.
- Melt margarine in a large, non-stick pan and then add cheese until melted.
- Add rest ingredient except potatoes and heat until blended.
- Then combine potatoes with mixture and pour into a butter 9 X 13 inch dish.
- Bake uncovered at 325 for 1 hour.

These sound delicious! But is it one 16 oz container of sour cream or one cup? It says one 16 oz cup 😉

Always good to hear from you Lisa...all I can say to that is "oops!"...should be 16 ounces!, ignore the one until I can take it down!
