If you follow me on social media (InstagramFacebookTikTokYouTubePinterest) you know that I got a special gift from a special friend to borrow. It’s a recipe book made by women in the community of Anacortes, Washington. My friend entrusted me with this recipe book and trust being the operative word because it is full of amazing vintage recipes from today’s past that are relevant today. Pictured below is the original recipe:

A cookbook page featuring Mary Snyderโ€™s Party Potatoes recipe, with ingredients and instructions in a typewriter-style font, small stains dotting the page, and the spiral binding of the Party Potatoes section visible on the left.

Today we are making the Party Potatoes, made by Mary Snyder from page 71. This recipe is a simple yet incredibly delicious recipe and I only made one minor change. Of course it was a little bit more butter because everything is better with butter! I added it to the top of the casserole to brown the breadcrumbs and add a little extra creaminess. All you’re going to need are some frozen hash brown potatoes, cheese, sour cream, Campbell’s cream of celery soup, and a few more little extras. Thank you Shawn for lending me your mothers book of recipes. Let’s make it!
