1 Tbsp olive oil

Top potatoes with paprika and broil 6 to 8 inches from the heat until potatoes are evenly browned. Top casserole dish with chopped parsley and serve.

this sounds great I will try it this week except I will use ground turkey. I will let you know

Do I understand this correctly? If I split this recipe up between 8 people to use all the servings, would this mean that there would be 0 points per person? If so, sounds like something I may want to have two days only one serving per day and get 0 points each day...hmmmmmmmm

I would think it's 5 pts. a piece for flex? or core - nothing.

I'm pretty sure she meant the cornstarch (which is NOT core so on the Core program you have to count the points) is 0 points.

If you are on points you would have to count the whole thing. Like javanilla said, works out at about 5 points per serve (still not too bad!)

sounds great. I am going to try this one. thanks for the recipe.

This sounds good. I will be trying this one soon :)
