On man these were so good, added garlic powder and lots of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture and used seasoned salt, cooked them in a foil pan on my outdoor grill, so delicious, thanks for sharing Polly

This took forever to cook, and never really got "done". It was a good idea, and I wanted it to work better, but it just didn't. I couldn't get the flavorings down into the potato enough. I wouldn't make them again.

These are called Armadillo Potatoes in my neck of the woods.

This was a much easier dish to prepare than I thought it would be. The potatoes were tasty and presented quite nicely. Next time, I'll add a bit more seasoning though, especially more paprika. Thanks for sharing your recipe, hillbillie.mama! Made for 2009 Spring Pick-A-Chef.

Made the potatoes last night to go with our calamari and my husband thought they were perfect. I did mix seasoned panko crumbs with the bread crumbs for a little more crunch and added some garlic salt to the mixture also. Will be making these again. So easy!
