• I live in Canada and have never been to Applebees so I have nothing to compare these potatoes to....but they were AWESOME!!! My husband thought he had died and gone to heaven! They are so easy to make, they will definitely be served with Sunday night roast beef dinner from now on!!

• I don't think I have ever had these at Applebees but they were wonderful! I put in cream instead of milk and topped them with grated cheddar before reheating in the oven. Everyone loved these. We served with beef tenderloin, a green salad and corn on the cob. Perfect! Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
