And for a fun food storage recipe, try either of these two recipes out with potato flakes you may be starting to stock on your shelves (since the cannery now only gives potato flakes, instead of pearls)! :)...


Potato Flakes Chicken
Potato flakes mixed with grated parmesan cheese give this chicken a delicious flavor and a golden, crispy coating.

2/3 cup mashed potato flakes
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (8 ounces each)
1/3 cup butter, melted

In a shallow bowl, combine the potato flakes, Parmesan cheese and garlic salt. Dip chicken in butter, then coat with potato flake mixture. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: 4 servings.

  2. The listed telephone number doesn't work. I've been trying for hours to:
    1. Get the right telephone number
    2. Get through on that line to be sure it is the right one. I'll let you know if and when I ever get through and if it is the right one.
