NORTHWEST SALMON CHOWDER

Northwest Salmon Chowder image

I've lived on a farm in the Yakima Valley all my life. I have a big garden, and by the end of fall, my cellar shelves are full of canned fruits and vegetables. This recipe uses some of the root vegetables I grow...along with the delicious salmon that is so plentiful here. -Josephine Parton, Granger, Washington

Categories Side Casseroles

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

10 medium red potatoes
2/3 c milk
2/3 c sour cream
1 lb tillamook sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
10 oz smoked pacific northwest salmon
1 bunch green onions, chopped

Steps:

1. Prick the skins of the potatoes, but leave them on and microwave until just tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on their size. Let cool, then slice.
2. In a saucepan, combine the milk, sour cream, and cheese. Season with mustard, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Without letting the mixture boil, cook over medium heat to melt the cheese. It may still look lumpy, this is okay.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Add the sliced potatoes and sprinkle with the salmon and green onions. Pour on the sauce and bake, uncovered, for one hour.
