Fabulous presentation! And, not that difficult to do if you pay attention to what you're doing. We found the flavour a little bland and dry. It seemed like there was too much of the herb mixture. I thought the flavour could have been heightened if the potatoes were drizzled with butter.

Wow - so elegant and easy to do! I made three tonight in the microwave and served with Crock Pot Lemon Turkey Breast which seemed to compliment each other just right. My taters took about 12 minutes in my 1300wt microwave. I made these ahead of time, wrapped in plastic and then put them in the fridge for about 1.5 hours until dinner was nearly ready. Took them out, popped them in the microwave and taadaaa, wonderful potatoes with our turkey.

Made & reviewed for the Cookathon in Support of kzbhansen. Fabulous! I love these potatoes - the whole family does! They are very simple & quick to put together & make lovely sides to a variety of dishes, this time we had them with roast chicken. Thanks Karen!
