{Food Dish} Ultimate Guide: Funeral Potatoes Recipes

The Ham and Artichoke Potatoes recipe calls for white wine. Hmmmmm.....

Re: Granny and the Ham and Artichoke Potato Recipe Not everyone who reads LDS magazine is LDS and even if they were, shouldn't all of us be minding our own beams and motes? :)

I proudly cook with wine and yet somehow manage to retain my temple recommend.

There are substitutions if a recipe calls for alcohol, which I refuse to buy or have in my home. That is not simply because of religious factors, although that's a consideration, but there's also a scary-high rate of alcoholism in my family, so I'm best off staying far away from it. I also have a serious moral issue with an industry that leads to so much domestic abuse, sexual immorality, and traffic deaths.

There is absolutely no alcohol remaining when you cook with wine. Alcohol quickly evaporates at temperatures above 120 degrees (F). The flavor remains. De-glaze after you saute, or simmer in a wine sauce, and remain guilt-free. A fifth of red last me more than a year. Personally, I use a can (12 oz.) of beer in Texas Chili. The trick is trying to buy a single can of beer. Ask a Gentile friend or co-worker.
