FAIR POTATOES

1 egg, beaten

2 c. milk

1 c. grated Swiss cheese

1 to 2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Dash of freshly ground nutmeg

Garlic powder to taste

5 c. coarsely grated potatoes (about 4 bakers)

2 tbsp. butter

Mix beaten egg, milk, seasonings and 3/4 cup of the cheese. Mix well with the potatoes and pour into a well buttered 1 1/2 quart casserole. Cut 1 tablespoon of the butter in small pieces and push into the potatoes. Cut the other tablespoon of butter in pieces and distribute over the top. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and fifteen minutes. The original recipe called for 2 teaspoons but the church volunteers cut the amount. Try 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder the first time.
