Very good and I will make again. Perfect for serving family and guests. I was searching for a recipe w/o sour cream, this fit the bill. The potatoes flavorful yet none of the ingredients are over powering in any way. They very easy to make and can be made ahead and heated up before serving. The addition of the parsley and green onions was flavorful and pretty. I did not use any milk. I think this would be good with a huge dollop of horseradish in the mixture too. Be sure to rub some olive oil on the skins before baking.... it helps to flavor and crisp up the skins. Thanks for posting Drunk! ;^P
