"This is another variation of Potatoes Anna, which is made with white potatoes.These are tender and flavorful and a wonderful recipe that you can use as a side dish for many meals. They go great with ham, of course, but are delicious with steak, pork chops, even fish! So try something new for a change! Toss this on the table, and watch the smiles grow! **Divided means that you will be using the same ingredient more than once,and it usually is listed as a total amount.
