Pulled-Out-of-my-Sleeve-Potatoes

Like the name? Well it's true, I just came up with these today and they where a hit! So I felt like cooking potatoes for dinner tonight but really didn't want it to be just regular mashed potatoes like it usually is around here. And please, if you can think of a better name for these, you are more than welcome to change the name, really. So grab as many potatoes you need to feed your gang and peel them.  Then, slice them up as thinly as possible, or as you would like. To speed up the process and not have them take too long getting cooked in the oven, I boiled up the sliced potatoes but kept an eye close to them so they wouldn't get too soft and fall into pieces.  I drained the potatoes and placed them back in the pot.  On a mixing bowl, I mixed  a little bit of milk with sour cream.  Now the trick is to make sure it's not runny, so you'll be adding way more sour cream than milk, but don't want it to be as thick as the sour cream already is....make sense?  Add the mixture to the potatoes. Stir it in until the potatoes are all covered in it. Pass the potatoes to a cooking pan (where you would normally make lasagna, pasta, etc.) and spread them out as much as you can.  Lastly, just add as much shredded cheese as you'd like with as many bacon bits as you'd like on top and stick those in the oven until the cheese is melted and done! We loved them and I'm excited to make them again.

P.S. Sorry Lins, I read on the recipe you posted below you can't eat dairy while feeding Elle.
