"This is not the healthiest dish, although it is delicious. For the people who do not like them, the onion is optional. I make it for my family often and the restaurant I work at changed their recipe to this! Add diced tomatoes alongside the onion and garlic for a tasty addition." — tenastic66

Easy and absolutely delicious. I loved them more than those I get from restaurants. My children gobbled these up without a drop of ketchup(that's typically a must have with their potatoes). They may be fattening but it was well worth it!
