These had a great flavor. I cut the potatoes into thin fry strips and I wouldn't recommend doing that. I will definitely make these again and will cut them in the wedge shape as per the instructions. *Zaar World Tour 3*

Very good! I used gold and purple fingerling potatoes. Went well with grilled pork tenderloin. Thank you for posting!
