Excellent! I make this a lot! I have several family members who insist light food doesn't taste good but unknowingly ate these and loved them!

This is a 5-star recipe. I have no idea why my rating came up 4 stars.

Absolutely delicious! We used green onions instead of chives. We'll definitely make again!

These potatoes were very creamy with just the right flavor and made a nice accompaniment to my turkey dinner. I will make them again!!!
