We love red potatoes. Your recipe sounds really good! Our potato chunks never make it to mixing! They're just baked as they are with a little butter and garlic, and, voila! Yay, for red potatoes!

Are these good with gravy on top at thanksgiving? I'm in charge of the mashed potatoes this year, and I'm a big fan of no peeling. Thanks for the recipe!

Schmath,

If you are going to put gravy on these, I wouldn't put green onions in the potatoes...otherwise I think it's okay. Happy Thanksgiving!
