Absolutely great! Made this for the 4th of July, as a sort of picnic dish, even though we didn't have a picnic! I boiled my eggs (after washing them!) with my potatoes. Both came out perfect! Followed the recipe exactly, but did halve the recipe as there was only 2 of us eating. Loved the lemon juice added before everything else...and the potatoes did soak it up! Will make this again! Thnx for posting, Nina! (How are you doing?) Made for Comfort Cafe Summer 2009.

I'm a transplant from Alabama now living in a St. Louis, MO suburb. After many years as a senior consultant, I had to have major surgery with a long recovery period, which is when I found your site. What a thrill!!
I spent many years collecting cook books before losing them all (including my Mom's recipes) in a house fire. I still collect books when I can, but more often I frequent 'Zaar and get the best recipes!
I rate the recipes I really love, which is why most of my ratings are high. So far I haven't encountered a recipe I didn't like where I didn't change something in the original, and I don't think it fair to give a low rating under those circumstances.
