Excellent. The spice combination was right on for us as was the serving size. I did cook mine a little longer to get them even more crisp. Just loved this. thanks so much for sharing. I'll make these again. :)

Highly addictive hits the nail. These are great! The spice mix was absolutely perfect, everything was balanced, not too much salt but just enough. Will make these again! Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you for this easy delicious recipe. Anything that brings out that adoring look on my husband's face when he takes a bite of my dinner makes me indebted to you forever! His exact words, as he kept scarfing these potatoes long after the rest of us were done, "these are highly addictive!"
