Comments
This recipe is from Very Best Baking and was, well, disappointing.  It was wet and a bit flavorless despite the good ingredients.  I think I might have preferred this if it had been made in a 9x12 instead since it might have had the chance to get a bit crispier that way.  I tried to heat up leftovers in a skillet too in order to get things crispy, but I was still displeased.  I think I’ll stick to Funeral Potatoes in the future.
