Potatoes Tetrazzini - A Vegetarian Version of the Classic Tetrazzini Dishes

This recipe is for a classic Tetrazzini dish, but with the poultry or fish omitted.

This classic dish, which most think actually originated in the United States, was named for Luisa Tetrazzini, a world famous coloratura soprano, who from all accounts not only loved to sing but also loved to eat. This version is similar to my chicken Tetrazzini recipe published elsewhere. You could substitute a can of cream of mushroom soup for the white sauce (olive oil, flour, and milk) shown here. Since most of the commercial cream soups contain lots of additives, which you don't really need, I usually go the "scratch" way and make white sauce. Most of the flavoring for this dish come from the onion and lemon juices and the Parmesan cheese. This recipe has been "grandson tested" and they liked it.
