Cleaning out my cooking area of cook books and my old box of recipes and found this in the back of my recipe box where someone wrote this recipe on paper and gave to me. I remember making this years ago and loved them. My daughter-in-law makes them every Christmas. Maybe that's where I got this recipe. Getting forgetful at my age? NOTE: You can cook the patatoes in your microwave by pricking a wholes in the top with a fork and placing them on a paper towel and roll to wrap making sure the ends are folded under and cook for 10 or until done.
