  1. Yooper, you said it all, these spuds truly are awesome, addictive and could be a meal on their own. We ate them tonight, and didn't alter a thing in the recipe. I'm seeking out great potato recipes, and these are way up at the top of my list. Thanks.

  2. Like mewmew said, they would be good with anything. I replaced the prosciutto with streaky bacon but otherwise kept with the recipe. Only thing keeping me from awarding 5 stars is that I found the parmesan a little too much - but that is a personal thing. Easy to reduce to suit one's own taste.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite. Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
