Big Sister’s Potato/Apple Bake
My sister started making this delicious side dish for holiday meals a few years ago. It can be a nice change from heavy casseroles and it’s perfect for a pot luck, too. It’s delicious… sweet and creamy and best of all, not much work at all! Peel, layer, bake, scoop and savor.
