Author Notes
Once again, my weakness...potatoes! This was very simple too make and it added so much to these lovely spuds. Great alone, great with gravy, and great for leftovers or to add to your next dish. Potatoes are very versatile. They are tough and durable, store well, and have an impressive nutritional content including being a rich source of fiber, potassium and vitamin C. Like other fruits and vegetables, potatoes are a low calorie food and are free of fat, cholesterol, and sodium, now that is my potato! —Kitchen Comments
