Notes
NOTE: The original recipe directed the vegetables be cooked 18-20 minutes after the first 10-minute bake of the potatoes. I found the recipe wasn’t even half way done by that time. I cooked the combined vegetables for 40-45 minutes after the initial 10 minute baking period.
Taste of Home no longer has a search engine that allows you to search recipes by title. Most of the time, you have to weed through thousands of recipes in collections. If any link is to be found, I find direct links through google, not their own website. I could not locate a direct page for this recipe. But it is in the cookbook noted above.
