This is a top-notch potato recipe that can be made ahead...what more could you ask for? Also, it's a recipe everyone will love, no matter what their tastes. I'll be making a big batch of these tomorrow to freeze as individual servings. This has been sitting in my "want to try file" forever...It's now in my "family favorites" hard copy cookbook. Thank you Parsley, we love these.

I absolutley loved this way of preparing potatoes. I had an abundance of potatoes DH had bought on special! They weren't yukon gold potatoes, just the everyday potatoe (dont even know which ones) but they turned out just fine and the family loved them. I even had some left over which I reheated and ate the next day and they were just as nice. I will be making these again, this recipe is just the thing for a cold winters night!! Thanks Parsley great recipe.

This was very good. Light and fluffy with just the right consistency. I didn't change a think. Thanks

This is a fantastic recipe. What even makes it more special it can be prepared ahead of time. Served it with a nice roast and sauted vegetables.

Sounds sinfully delicious, Parsley! Saved it, will rate it when I make it! I tend to tweak recipes and I feel it's more fair to make it and then rate it. (Pity we don't get Yukon Gold potatoes in South Africa!)
