Whole family loves this recipe. Yum. I made this for a dinner (using only butter) serving 80,(of course had to adjust the amounts) and had lots of compliments. Don't be afraid to try it different ways with the optional ingredients, only gets richer tasting.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my calico potatoes turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.
