These potatoes were amazing!! I was a little nervous about trying them, but now I think they are going to be a new addition to Thanksgiving dinner rather than regular mashed potatoes. You don't really taste distinct apple flavor, just delish potatoes. I did add just a little butter (2tbsp) to make them a little creamier.

<p>I am a Yankee transplant to the low country. My mom was English, so my cooking style reflects this. My favorite cookbook was McCall's Cookbook which is no longer in print. I've been married to a gourmand for 41 years, so I get lots of practice cooking. We have three daughters that I share recipes with and seven grandchildren -- none old enough to cook yet, but I think we have some budding chefs!</p>
