Delicious and decadent! Made with garden potatoes, dill, and onions. Part of one great garden feast tonight! Made for zwt9.

Outstanding!! It got the "Oh WOW mom!" seal of approval. I used some green onion, both while cooking the potatoes and on top. I also garnished it with garlic chives from my garden. The last tweak, was to use light half and half. I will make this again and again! Reviwed for ZWTIII

Really excellent, I cut down to a single serving, and diced small so they cooked in about half the time. I used fresh chives and dill, and pepper. Thanks for sharing Nan! Made for ZWT6 for the Unrulies Under the Influence.
