    I added red and green bell peppers, and substituted red potatoes for russet... and now it's too "potatoe-y". Will try russet next time. Excellent with sweet corn! Easy and yummy! - 11/30/09

    Delicious! I used soy milk instead of evaporated milk (fiance and I are vegetarian/vegan) so I had to add a little flour to thicken it up (soy milk is very thin for those who aren't familiar with it). Will definitely be making this one again. - 8/11/08
