Oven Baked Potato Pieces

My fam loves these. They're Shawn's fav in breakfast burritos and with meatloaf. Super easy and can't really go wrong. I never buy frozen potatoes for breakfast meals anymore because these are so quick and delicious. Since my sister tried these, she hasn't since bought frozen either!


Ingredients:
~ 2-3 T butter
~ 3-4 large potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
~ Mrs. Dash
~ Seasoning Salt

Directions:
Cube butter and place in a 13x9 pan (or smaller if you want to make a smaller batch. Turn oven onto between 350 and 425 degrees depending on the hurry you're in. Place pan in oven at any time and melt. Remove from oven. Spread melted butter around bottom of pan and top with potato cubes and sprinkle a generous amount of seasoning on top. Stir well. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 25 minutes or until soft. When soft, remove cover and bake until slightly crispy. You can turn them if you like.

Layered Chocolate Lover's Dream Cake

This cake is so, so delicious. It serves quite a few because the slices are very tall but you can cut them thinly and serve them on big plates drizzled in hot fudge...delicious!! It's a very pretty cake with layers of cake and chocolate creamy frosting.

Ingredients:
~ 1 box devils food cake mix
~ 1 pint heavy whipping cream (no substitutions)
~ 1 8oz cream cheese
~ 2/3 c. brown sugar
~ 1 tsp. vanilla
~ 1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
~ 1 king size Hershey's candy bar (for shaving on top)
~ 1 jar hot fudge topping

Directions:
Make cake batter according to package directions. Grease and cocoa (like flouring) two 8" round pie pans and bake cakes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Turn cakes out onto a wire rack. Cool. Split each in half (so you have 4 rounds).

Whip whipping cream until fluffy. In a separate bowl combine cream cheese, vanilla, brown sugar & salt. Add to whipping cream. On a serving tray or cake server layer one round cake, frost generously (saving enough for remaining layers) and continue with layers finishing with frosting. Shave chocolate bar on top and refrigerate. To serve, "pie slice" and place on serving dishes. Warm hot fudge and drizzle over each piece. Serve immediately. (TIP: You'd think the more fudge the better, but even if you're a chocolate lover, the most delicious way to enjoy this dessert is with just a little drizzle of hot fudge. Don't overdue it! It will be plenty, I promise)
