  1. Wonderful potatoes! Followed the recipe exactly. Will be making these again!
     
  2. Kind of hard to figure out how much 1 lb. of potatoes is. Mine came out really wet and globby. You might want to tell us how many potatoes to use in number rather than poundage.
     
  3. Delicious -- used green onions since it was what we had. Quick and delicious side dish. Thanks!
     
  4. So delicious I could make a meal of this. I used both chives and parsley. Easy to make ahead and rewarm in the microwave. Sure to be served often in our house. Thanks chef!
     
  5. I tried this recipe and it was so good! As I used two garlic cloves in the pot I left out the garlic powder in the end just added the garlic cloves as part of the seasonings. I also used some steak seasonings which was very nice, since I love barbeque food.
