This was a great recipe. Fast and easy. I followed the directions as written except I added 2tbs. of bourbon. That really enhanced the robustness of the potatoes with the sweetness. It’s not an overly sweet recipe, either. You still get the natural profile of the potato coming through. Perfect recipe for anytime, not just the holidays.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
