I loved this recipe for a couple of reasons, it was simple and combined ingredients and it was also great for my diabetic grandmother. I altered the recipe slightly by chopping everything, adding the sauce and placing it in a crockpot for the day. It eliminated using the top of the stove while preparing for Thanksgiving dinner.

This potato dish was delicious! I made them yesterday to go with my Easter ham and was very pleased with the results. It looked fantastic and tasted fabulous! I did everything as the recipe stated, except I doubled it as I had guests and no problems, it turned out great! Thanks so much!
