Is the Parmesan the stuff in the jar or the cheese you grate yourself fresh from a block? Thank you.
Hi, Sonya. Whichever parmesan you have will do 🙂
YUM! I will definitely try this. Something new to try aside from mashed potatoes.
Enjoy, Pauleen! Let us know how it turns out 🙂
Do the potatoes get oil or butter on them before you bake them? Or are they just “dry”?
Hi, Amanda! Just dry. Enjoy! 🙂
