Super easy and a healthier option for potatoes. I make these to take to family for Thanksgiving and they are always a hit! I use red potatoes and I keep skins on. I debated adding butter, but didn’t. You don’t even miss the butter.
These potatoes are very easy to make and well worth the time! I could have licked the bowl clean!
These sound absolutely delicious and so easy to prepare. Thanks Rachel for the reduced fat recipies. I am diabetic and always looking for ways to prepare dishes that are lower in fat!!!!
These are the best potatoes, my family loves these. I make them on all the holidays and I don’t usually care for leftover potaotes but these are great even the next day!
Five star taters right there.

Awesome dish. Loved it very much..

This tastes Amazing! It was a huge hit with my family, I have made it several times always making bigger batches but I never have leftovers everyone enjoys the potatoes too much…
These potatoes were awesome! My family loved them. I agree with rickimc_11231803, the potatoes did take longer too get soft but it was worth the wait.
