I wasn't sure what to expect from this recipe. My husband wanted to eat it right away and I told him that it had to sit for at least 3 hours so we let it set for the night. We used small potatoes that I didn't have to cut up and before they went bad. It was absolutely amazing! I think that the small potatoes should have been cut in half, the larger ones cut into thirds. Yet it setting is VERY important to allow it to meld into the potato. It was even better the second night. We had these with homemade pitas and this is a recipe we will be making again that is for sure!!
