Thanks.  I guess I cannot even blame Michael's eyesight on that error.
I just read the first "M" as an "N".

I still do not grok it though.

This recipe has some decent flavors in it.  My only problem is that more
than two pounds of toppings sounds like a lot for only four medium
potatoes.  It would have to be piled awfully high.
