I would like to thank you for posting this wonderful recipe. I had a Mexican night and made your recipe accompanied with tacos. My dinner guests raved over the potatoes and insisted they have your recipe. I will surely be making these again. Just a note: I used white sweet potatoes and Russet potatoes. Sensational!! Chef Glo
