Billy Joel's infamous potato hotdish

So, Lauren posted a recipe for her cheesy potato casserole yesterday.

Apparently she and Jesse got into some major nesting, as they were snowed in--kinda--and decided to bake, cook, and who knows what else.

Anyway, the casserole Lauren describes is a popular concoction here in the midwest.  In fact, Byerly's makes it all the time and sells it in their deli under the name company potatoes.  I asked the woman there once why it was called that and she said it's because it's a popular dish to take to a company potluck.  This, and only this, is why I am completely endorsing Lauren's Billy Joel's Cheesy Potato Casserole name.

Helpful hint:  Lauren describes Jesse painstakingly peeling and shredding potatoes for this dish.  Another option would be hashbrowns.  Just sayin'.
