Made for PRMR! I also did not peel the potatoes. The kids really gobbled this up right away!!! A keeper! Thanks for this recipe.

I did change one thing in the recipe, in that I didn't peel the potatoes! Rather, after they were boiled, I sliced & diced them rather fine & then went on with the recipe! We like the texture & flavor (not to mention the nutrition) of the peel & were very pleased with the final mashed potato dish ~ Very, very tasty! This is definitely one of those recipes I'll be making again, for sure! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
