Notes: These weren't MY grandpa's potatoes, but these are pretty darned good. I added salt and pepper as an ingredient, because almost everything is better with a little salt and pepper.
This was really good. I just love finding new ways to eat potatoes!!!!! Thank goodness for whatever person that dared to try them the first time they came out of the ground. All in all, maybe it's my Irish heritage, but I never get enough.
