    after printing out this recipe, I realized that there are a couple of mistakes that you will want to address. # 1 & 2 in the preparation section are the same. also, “then mixed in with potatoes and herbs” Potatoes are not included in the list of ingredients nor in the preparation process.
    looking forward to making this dish tonight. it looks great and creative.

    1. Patrick, thank you! We’ve made the corrections.

        Where is the correction made? Don’t see it

        1. In Patrick’s comment, he noted ““then mixed in with potatoes and herbs” Potatoes are not included in the list of ingredients nor in the preparation process.” There are no potatoes in this recipe, so we took it out. That was the correction. Thanks Rose.

    I made this with 3 large candy onions and did not add croutons. It was amazing. Takes a while to properly carmelize the onions, but it’s worth it!
