I made this last night to go along with a marinated flank steak and salad and both my kids loved these potatoes!!! I used about 2 lbs of potatoes and about 1/3 of the sauce and followed as written. The only thing I would do next time was to sautee some onions in the butter and then add the flour and seasonings. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for PRMR tag game.
