We really enjoyed the potatoes prepared this way Chef Buggsy Mate. I halved the recipe for dh & I, it worked beautifully. The potatoes had a wonderful flavor and nice textures. We didn't have any French fried onions, so I caramelized a sweet onion and added it to the potatoes as a topping. The potatoes were very yummy, I could have eaten just them. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe, which I will enjoy again. Made for Aussie Swap/Jan. 2014.

Very easy and flavorful potatoes.....slightly thinner than I usually make my potatoes, but tasty never the less! I subbed crushed chips and a small sprinkle of shredded cheese for the topping as I found my French's Fried Onions had gone bad. Who knew? Turned out very nciely - everyone really loved them too! Would definitely make these again. Thank you for a very tasty side. *Made and enjoyed for August Aussie Recipe Swap*

I am blessed with a wonderful dh and four fantastic, crazy children. I am a stay at home mom who works from son up till son down.
My favorite cookbook is not one that I cook with very often, it actually sits on top of my pantry propped up in an old basket. The cookbook was given to my grandmother just prior to her marriage to my grandfather and it has the family prayer and some recipes that my great-grandmother penned in her own hand inside. It is called All About Home Baking.
