I am thinking about making this tonite. You really only need 3 potatoes? That doesn’t seem like a lot. Also, how many does this typically serve?
sry i didn’t respond sooner…i have been down with the flu….yes, you really only need three, if they are good sized, i typically use 4. it will feed about 4 people!! you can double it with good results!!
