The first time I had this deliciousness was at my friend Lisa Gleason's. It is a great appetizer, snack or meal.

Brie Heaven

1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup onions
1/3 cup dried cranberries

Sauté onions in butter. Peel back the top part of the Brie, and sprinkle
almonds, cranberries and onions on top. Bake at 350 until soft. (Half hour

Swedish Potatoes

6 large potatoes
4 oz cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
2 tablespoon butter
1  topping:
1 1/2 tablespoon melted butter
3/4 cup soft bread crumbs

Cook potatoes.  Beat together with other ingredients.  Place in
greased casserole dish.  Mix butter and bread crumbs.  Sprinkle over
potatoes. Cover with tin foil and heat at 350 for 1/2 - 1 hour.  Can
be made ahead & reheated.

*Note*: I find that approx 7lbs of potatoes equals a double recipe (so 8oz cream cheese etc). I "whip" them in my stand mixer with the whipping cream attachment. Leave off topping to make gluten free.
