These were great little potatoes. We love red potatoes and I am always looking for new ways to fix them. The caraway seeds add a nice rustic flavor that we enjoyed. Went well with Meatloaf #240523 by Vicki in CT. Made and reviewed for ZWT 6 - Seasoned Sailor and his Sassy Sirens.

The basic way of cooking the potatoes is spot on though I did divert with the butter and caraway seeds (I only used 1 tablespoon of seeds, which was enough for us to give a taste without being overpowering) and taking into family tastes I mixed the butter and caraway seeds and melted them in the microwave and drizzled over the potatoes of those that were willing to try and put the excess on the table (which some used to put over their steamed vegetable). thank you littlemafia for a new way to present roast potatoes, made for Aussie/Kiwi Swap #37 February 2010.
