Potato Romanoff

This recipe came from Jerry's mother Lucy. She was one of the best cooks I've ever known. There wasn't a single thing she made that I didn't think was delish. Luckily she taught me a thing or two and passed on some of her recipes to me. I changed one small thing on this recipe and she is no longer with us so I can't ask her why she had the mixture sit in the fridge over night. I found it made them come out to dry so I now make them the day of. I made these for Thanksgiving and thought they turned out and tasted just the way Lucy's did. I hope you make them and like them also.
