As a pastor's wife, I cook for crowds often. This dish is always a hit. My own family thinks the potatoes are a must with London broil or marinated grilled chicken breasts. I frequently prepare them for guests, too. The recipe is very adaptable, and the results disappear. —Michelle Grigsby, Beavercreek, Ohio

These are the best! My family and friends ask me to make these all the time. I wouldn't change a thing!

These were delicious! The only change I made was to add a little milk to make it a little softer texture to suit personal preference.
