This is a favorite in our home. The only change I make to the recipe is leaving out the cheese. I’m sure it bumps up the delicious factor, but I need to reduce my intake of fat and calories. Plus it’s delicious without the cheese.
Easy and full of flavor! I mixed white potatoes with sweet potatoes and Parmesan for the cheese.
