Good idea. had to bump up the seasonings and cook for longer. Thanks, still very tasty!

Pretty bland (and I even added extra garlic). Maybe I did something wrong.

Really good potatoes! Just loved all that garlic flavor. The lemon was subtle and I may add a little of lemon juice as well next time just to boost that flavor a bit. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
