Make the Most of This Recipe
Health Twist
Not only does using unpeeled potatoes save you time, but you get more nutrition as well. Much of a potato’s fiber and vitamins are found in or directly under the peel.
Substitution
Add another flavor dimension to this creamy side dish by using garlic butter instead of regular butter.
