A friend just sent me this. Looks good s I thought I would share it. I sort of doubt though that it would take 30 - 40 minutes, after all the potatoes are already cooked.

SWEDISH POTATOES 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes

10 Large potatoes
1 cup sour cream
4 oz. cream cheese
2 tsp. onion salt
1 tsp. salt
Pinch pepper
2 Tbsp. butter

TOPPING
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp. melted butter

Boil potatoes until done – then mash.
In a large bowl whip until fluffy - mashed potatoes, cream cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper and onion salt.
Put into buttered oven proof dish.
Sprinkle topping over potatoes. (Can be refrigerated at this point)
If refrigerated – allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
Cook (covered) 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
Remove cover for last 10 minutes.

The more renowned Swedish potato dish is called Jansens Temptation, and has boiled potato slices and anchovies.

I have a similar recipe but there is more cream cheese, less sour cream and instead of onion salt it is garlic powder. You are right about the time, it only takes about 15/20 minutes for the recipe I have till it is browned on top.
I love anchovies will have to try those heatseeker

That recipe also calls for a lot of whipping cream.

I'll be doing these Spanish potatoes for the Christmas Eve tapas spread.

That sounds good Heat. the only Spanish potato dish I've ever made is a potato tortilla, with a very garlicky mayo. Yum!

My daughter is making a potato and kale tortilla to bring over Christmas Eve to ensure her vegetarian husband gets enough vegetables.

Have you noticed that recipes are putting kale in everything now-a-days. I like kale some ways, others..not so much. I tried to use it as a substitute for arugula in a pasta dish. Not recommended. :(

My go-to dishes for vegetarians are ratatouille and a thing where i put phyllo leaves in a springform pan so they drape over the side, layer wild rice, cranberries and all sorts of nuts and veggies inside, add seasonings and maybe some cheese and then fold the phyllo back over to close the top in. Don't know what to call it and the recipe varies each time I make it, but it goes over very well. The other veggie dish that I'm expected to produce for festive occasions is baked tomatoes stuffed with spinach, croutons moistened with white wine and cubes of mozzarella. I add mushrooms depending on who is coming, we have a couple of non-mushroom eaters in the family.

Those both sound good, Fuzzyo. I will keep them handy.

I do think my grand daughter is meat deprived. Every time she comes over here she has a ferocious appetite for animal protein. Loves fish too.

At least her parents aren't insisting she can't have any. That's a good thing and she'll be able to make her own decisions later in life.

My daughter's inlaws are German and every year they grow a ton of kale. They harvest the whole plant and hang them in the garage all winter. They make it into something that is pronounced Greencol. They really love it and seem to serve it often when company is over.

That sounds like a good recipe, fuzzy.
It will not be long before I try it.

(Sort of a meatless Shepherd's Pie.)

These all sound good.

Intrigued with the idea of "Swedish" potatos, I cast around and found this. Sounds good too.
