These are the best potatoes ever. I had these when I visited my daughter in California; near Camp Pendleton where we had a personal tour by one of her student's dad, who is a Marine Colonel there. You are going to love this recipe and make it your go to recipe for every holiday. This is so creamy and delicious! This is very close to the ones I had..
