Potato Goop

I can only guess at what this recipe was supposed to be. There were 3 separate cards written for this particular recipe, including a scrap piece of paper. 1 of the recipes looks like Grandpa Hughes's handwriting. None of them actually call for potatoes.

Chicken Tamales

Everyone who knows my grandma also knows of her famous chicken tamales. When going through her recipes I came upon multiple written copies of this recipe... all a little different. So, which is the recipe of legend? I believe that I have been able to deduce the correct one here... if anyone sees anything missing, let me know. One thing they all had in common though was the first ingredient. :)

1 or 2 red chili peppers
1 big tsp cumin seed
1 tbs coriander seed
