Thank you Nellie for a grand recipe. I made it for a church event in September and also in October. It was so good. I made a couple changes by using Splenda Sugar and Brown Sugar and couldn’t resist using maple flavoring and some cinnamon in the potatoes. It very tasty and so good I didn’t have any left to bring home. What a keeper.
