Ricci's Potatoes

Ingredients

• 8  baking potatoes 
• 1 cup butter cooled lukewarm melted
• 3 cups half and half 
• 1  onion chopped
• 8 servings salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

• food processor
• bowl
• oven

Directions

1. Two days before serving, boil potatoes whole, with skins, until tender, about 25 minutes. When you can insert a fork and remove it easily, they are done.
2. Drain, and refrigerate.
3. The day before serving, peel and grate the potatoes. I like to use a food processor with grating attachment.
4. Place the potatoes into a large bowl and toss gently with melted butter, half-and-half, onion, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
5. The day of the meal, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
6. Bake for 1 hour, uncovered. You may broil for a minute at the end to brown the top if you like.
