The humble potato is so versatile, and can be flavoured in so many ways, that we often overlook the obvious.<br/>This recipe is a great reminder that you really don't have to do much to produce great results.<br/>I served with chipotle mayo and Sharon's own recipe# 202316#202316, which is delicious!<br/>A fab Saturday night munchie snack, that DH and I both enjoyed so very much.<br/>Thanks Sharon. Made for 123 Hits.

So simple and easy! I wondered about the lack of seasoning on the potatoes, but with the chili mayo sauce, this recipe is over the top! The sauce makes all the difference....can't wait to try it with the other sauces. Thanks for sharing, Sharon!
