I'm making dinner for a very "meat and potatoes" kind of family in a couple of weeks and I need an good idea for a potato side dish.  They are all very picky and mostly just eat mashed potatoes - but I am tired of mashed!  The last time they were over I made a cheesy scalloped potato, but there were a lot of leftovers so I'd like to try something else.   Gotta be simple though...
