Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30-35 minutes
2 tbsp butter 25 mL
1 lb sliced fresh mushrooms 500 g
4 large green onions, chopped 4
2 tbsp all-purpose flour 25 mL
2 1/4 cups milk 550 mL
4 oz cream cheese, cubed 125 g
1/4 tsp each nutmeg, salt and black pepper 1 mL
4 to 6 cooked, peeled potatoes (2 lb/ 1 kg) 4 to 6
1 1/4 cups each fresh breadcrumbs and grated Cheddar or Swiss cheese 300 mL
Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms and onions; cook, covered until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour. Gradually stir in milk, cream, cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Bring to boil, stirring constantly; cook until smooth and thickened. Pour into greased 8 cup (2 L) baking dish. Cut potatoes into 1/4” (6mm) slices and fold into sauce. Sprinkle breadcrumbs and cheese on top. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Tips:• For convenience, cook potatoes a few days before. Cook potatoes until tender but firm; cover and cool or chill before slicing.
• If potatoes have thin skins do not peel - you not only save time but will gain extra nutrition.
