Accordian Potatoes

I love potatoes, I am an Idaho girl so I grew up eating them practically every day.  At Christmas time potatoes are loaded with butter, cream and cheese and are definitely not healthy!  This potatoes have incredible flavor and are really satisfying.  Make them with vitamin rich red potatoes.  Red potatoes are creamier than russets and lower in starch.  Put these on your Christmas menu this year, every one will love them!
