Excellent recipe, I’ve made for years. These rock under the 40 clove garlic chicken (posted here). -

The water and broth didn't cover my potatoes, so I added enough to cook them. Also I didn't have any garlic cloves to I just added minced garlic after draining my cooked potatoes. Other than that, I made as directed. Next time I may add a touch more buttermilk, but other wise I would make them the same way. They went nicely with the grilled chicken we had. Thank you. -
My husband enjoyed this! I didn't use any onions or garlic (he likes his potatoes w/ just salt & pepper!) & it was such a great way to use up some buttermilk! I didn't warm up it up first, only because I totally forgot to, but will remember that for next time. Thankfully the taste didn't seem to be ruined! The chicken broth was a nice touch. Thanks for sharing! -
These had more flavor than the butter-and-milk kind I usually make! It's amazing to me how much less fat there is; I even used a low-fat chicken broth. Very, very tasty. I left out the scallions too. Thanks! -
These potatoes were fantastic! Hubby and I really loved the creamy texture and the flavor from the buttermilk. I left out the green onions by mistake, so next time, they'll be better still. Thanks for a keeper, Audrey M.

I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year.

<br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list.

<br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes
<br>
<br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks.
<br>
<br>Happy Cooking!
