This is pretty good. It's warm and hearty and it's easy but it doesn't have much pizzazz. We had to add a lot of salt to get a better flavor. The consistency was real good though so I'll make it again - but next time I think I'll try cooking the potatoes in broth instead of water and I'll probably add some herbs or spices. Nice basic recipe, though. Thanks!

I skipped the broth, threw in a couple of boullion cubes in the water. It would have made too much and been too thin had I added it. Easy enough to make, great texture.

Exactly what I was looking for. Great the night I made it and great as a leftover. I'll be making this a lot I bet, since the family really enjoyed it.
