Suggestion- mix the raisins and chopped walnuts in with the flour; they won't sink to the bottom when cooked. Made this recipe for the second time. Great family project; children love to help, and we let them. Good recipe to encourage them to cook on their own. To Karen: One should be able to tell by volume that it takes two pans.

I suggest instead of listing multiple ingredients (I made serving for 20) by lbs. instead of cups (ex. 5 lbs. potatoes instead of 13 3/4 potatoes) I microwaved the potatoes instead of boiling them. Put them in the refrigerator instead of freezer. I also rounded up amount of soup and sour cream. Blended ingredients instead of layering. Recipe is labor intensive, but well worth it.

I doubled this recipe and layered in in an oversized pan. Took it to a fellowship dinner at church and received rave comments. Since I made so much I was hoping there would be some left over to bring home for Saturday lunch. However, at the end of the fellowship there was nothing left; that's how good it was!
