1 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! 

2 Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! 

3 Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! 

5 For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.  - Psalms 100

I really wanted to cut the fat in the original recipe. You will find the original recipe on this blog under the Potatoes tab.

8-10 medium to large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1 inch chunks

2 c evaporated milk

1/2 water

1/8 t baking soda

2 T butter

2 t salt

1 t pepper

2 T diced roasted Poblanos 

Add ingredients to medium large pot.

Bring to boil on medium heat.

Adjust heat to low boil and stir constantly with a metal spoon. 

This will stick and burn so you must stay with it.

Cook 20 minutes or until potatoes are knife tender.

You want the potatoes not to be soft.

Add topping.

Dump into 13x9 casserole and bake preheated 375 degree oven, middle rack, for 20 minutes.

Topping 

3 T melted butter

1 c panko

1 c grated Parmesan  

Mix with a fork.

22 And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24 By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,

25 and its gates will never be shut by day-and there will be no night there.

26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.

27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. - Revelation 21:22-27

22 In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong. - Job 1:21-22

After reading a lady's blog  talking about the correct way to get your soft corn tortillas crispy, I gave it a try. Great tip! She said to heat your oven to 350 degrees and lay the tortillas on the rack for 5-10 minutes to dry them out. Then fry, mashing down with a fork, in a small amount of hot oil to crisp up.

They do puff up.

Drain on paper twirls.
