Author Notes

I adapted this from a Southern magazine recipe which used sweet potatoes and was somewhat different. The common ingred. are the potatoes and the cheese "stuffed" crust which, is actually an element similar to one of my recipes that the same mag. published a decade ago, so it has really come full circle! —wallflowerart
