What's not to like? These are the best darn 'Diet' potatoes I've ever had. Who knew full fat cheddar, bacon and sour cream were diet food? :) Acadia, it's clear I've been reading the wrong books. ;) Honoured to make this as a "Thank You" for voting for Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia in the 2010 Kraft Hockeyville Competition.
