Yesterday I got out this old Norge Cookbook that I bought at an estate sale last summer. This book is gigantic and weighs a ton!
It is by the Culinary Arts Institute in New York and written in 1948
I love this picture!
Lots of "odd" recipes in this cookbook, like a lot of gelatin type foods with un-gelatin type foods in them! Like fish in Jello. Ugh!
However I found one that I thought would go perfect with the meatloaf and peas that I had made for lunch and it was:
Dutch Stewed Potatoes
2 onions sliced
1 Tbls. fat, melted (I used Crisco)
1/2 tea. salt (I probably used a little more), dash of pepper
2 teaspoons of minced parsley (I didn't have any so I left it out)
2 cups diced, uncooked potatoes
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 teaspoons flour
Cook onion in fat, 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, parsley and potatoes, cover with boiling water and cook until tender. Thicken with flours which has been mixed with a little cold water. For 4.
It actually was very good! I did add a little butter at the end as well.
It tasted a lot like the scalloped potatoes my Aunt Clara used to make in the oven as it's really just boiled potatoes with a white sauce. But it was very easy and quick and I will definitely be using it again. Give it a try!
(p.s. How do you like my pink pyrex! I collect the blue Amish Butterprint, but when I saw this pink one for $2.00, I couldn't pass it up!)
Blessings!

The potatoes do look yummy but the casserole dish is precious! I found 4 pink and blue bowls at a yard sale. I'm going to see if one matches. I rarely follow a recipe and cooking isn't my first love, but the cookbooks of the past are pretty sometimes. Have a great week. Oh, I love your Valentine decorating! I started decorating yesterday. I found the sweet valentine you made me, too! :)
I bet my girls would love this recipe. It looks delicious. I'm loving that casserole dish too.
Yum! This looks delicious!! And love the pretty dish too! Happy new week! xo Holly
Pink pyrex? PRECIOUS! And the potatoes sound good. I haven't made anything like this in a long time. I did make potato soup the other day but it has a lot of milk in it. YUM! Great for cold weather!
So funny Linda, I have this book for sale in my Etsy shoppe! Maybe I should keep it and use it.
Those potatoes look pretty delicious! I love all the vintage cookbook pictures and I especially like that pink pyrex!
