In this recipe, the pot likker from the potatoes and peas is used as part of the liquid.<br /><br />I don't think I use white sauces overly much - I'm not a real fan of making them! - and I look for recipes for mac n cheese and gratins that don't use white sauces for that reason.<br /><br />I'll see if there's enough content/curiosity here to make a post out of it :)Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-70156859808299146792010-06-03T22:50:01.185-04:002010-06-03T22:50:01.185-04:00You're post is making my mouth water!
