It's hard to photograph a pile of potatoes and make it look good, but these are really tasty (and easy!) so I'd urge you to give them a try. :) Just imagine a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley garnishing these babies. If only my parsley hadn't died within a few days of being in my presence. Oh well. This is an older recipe from Taste of Home- my mom started making this when I still lived at home, and that was a while ago, now; 10 years! This is one of the first recipes I tried when I started cooking "real" meals, with side dishes and everything! It's so easy; you can't really screw it up.
The full recipe makes a ton, so I've always cut it in half for us, and it still makes a good amount for our family. I do have one non-potato eater, though (wierdo!) but he doesn't eat much anyway. I'll post the recipe the way I make it- cut in half. I never peel my potatoes. You can, but I don't see why you'd go to the extra work for this recipe, unless your peels were really thick and tough or something.
A note about the milk: when I cut this recipe in half, 1/2 cup of milk doesn't seem to be enough; the potatoes aren't done by the time it is evaporated. So, I start out with 1/2 cup, and when that's gone, I test the potatoes for tenderness. If they're not tender yet, I pour in a little more, and test when that's gone. I keep going with this until the potatoes are tender enough.
