These potatos are fabulous, DH had seconds, plus he took them to work the next day, made them with creamy pork tenderloin, even my fussy 5 year old enjoyed them, thanks! -
These were so good. I made them as a side dish, next time they will be the main course. They were that good. -
These are magical! I made them exactly as stated and they were gone. The next day I was "told" I was making them again because they were so good! I've also done this as a mashed dish to save some time. I add boiled potatos to the fry pan with the other ingredients, mash them up and serve them as is...mmmmm! -
