Vic's Augratan Potatoes

I was on the phone with Vic a bit ago and we always start talking food. He brought 2 smoked pork butts (Vic smoked them and it is his rub and all on them, yes Sandy he could make it hot enough for Bill but then we couldn't eat it) for our Gates Cousin's Thanksgiving year and I ended up with a foodsaver bag of it plus. Den has mowed through all but the foodsaver bag.

Vic tells me that it is great in Augratan Potatoes. He even offered this recipe.

Scrub and slice thinly (1/8" can be on a mandolin) 5 or 6 potatoes cover with water and set aside.

1/2 pound smoked pulled pork

Combine and set aside:

2 C pkg of shredded cheddar

2 C pkg of shredded Swiss Cheese

In a 2 quart sauce pan combine over med/low heat stirring constantly:

1 C heavy cream

1/2 C chicken broth or stock

1/4 C finely chopped onion

2 Tbsp. flour

1/4 tsp each salt and pepper

Mix well and stir constantly until there as small bubbles around the edge. This will burn so be careful and stir constantly until thickened about 5 minute or so.

In a greased or sprayed 2 quart baking pan layer in:

1/2 of the prepared potatoes, well drained

1/2 pound of smoked pulled pork, evenly distributed

1/2 of the cheese, evenly distributed

Remaining potatoes, well drained.

Pour the sauce over all. Cover with foil and bake at 375F for 50-60 minutes or until the potatoes test tender.

Remover the foil and top with the remaining cheese mixture and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

I know that you might be thinking there should be some butter in this sauce but I double checked and that isn't in there.

The smoky pork flavors the entire thing with the cheese.

Think about it.

God Bless,
