So, so, so good. I used baby yukon gold potatoes in this and was very happy with the result. Made a mix of the green onion and bacon, but also added shredded cheddar cheese for the topping. Looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow. Thanks Post Time.

Wow, this is so good! Rich and satisfying, right down to the last spoonful! I easily halved the recipe and loved the skins left on the potatoes as well as the addition of paprika, yum! Thanks for sharing :) Made for PAC Spring 09

For just 2 of us, I cut this recipe down by half, using 1 large potato! I really appreciated that the potato was used unpeeled! A VERY, VERY NICE COMFORT FOOD, & a recipe that's a keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]
