Salmon Mountain Strata

The last time we were in Wisconsin, I, too, bought a 50-lb bag of potatoes. Who wouldn't buy 50 lbs for $7? Big time budget saver. We have worked our way to the end, and I wish we would be going to Wisconsin before Thanksgiving so we could get another 50 lbs, but it won't be happening :( In an attempt to actually make a one of my recipes to put on here, I came across this one, which worked out perfectly because we had everything (minus 6 ounces of salmon) on hand that needed to be used.

1 can (1-lb) salmon
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped celery
4 eggs
2 c. milk
1 1/2 tsp. salt, divided
1/4 tsp. dried dill weed
1/8 tsp. pepper
4 medium Idaho potatoes (6 cups sliced)

In large bowl combine salmon, onion, celery, eggs, milk, 1/2 tsp. salt, dill and pepper; mix well. Pare potatoes and cut into thin slices. Place half of potatoes in greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. salt and spread half of salmon mixture over potatoes. Repeat with remaining potatoes, salt and salmon. Bake uncovered in 350 degree oven 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Yield: 8 servings


Well, I told Big Chubb that I would never make this again. He and Little Chubb gobbled it right up. I ate it because I was desperately hungry.

After cooking it for the time intended, the potatoes were still raw, the onions and celery were still crunchy, and it had a very fishy taste to it even without the entire pound of fish. At least it got rid of some of the ingredients from our house.
