Recipe Review

26th September 2011

Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT

Great flavorful potatoes!

But I must confess to several alterations - largely to cut the fat. But even so, kids and husband couldn't get enough of it!

Now to the changes -- I used 2/3 the butter called for, I replaced the half-and-half with 1% milk, and I replaced the sour cream with yogurt.

Thanks for the great tips. I wonder when someone changes a recipe and then doesn't like it, but I am glad that these alterations worked!

Yes, I'd be reluctant to give a low rating to a recipe I had changed significantly. On the other hand, it does help all of us to know what changes work, and what changes do not work. The kids finished the leftovers (3 lbs of potatoes!) as dessert!

Very helpful review ... I love the Contessa's flavor profiles but she doesn't stint on the butter and cream. Nice to know that the healthier version you created worked so well.
