We enjoyed these potatoes very much. I've had the Penzey's Northwoods Fire Spice blend for awhile and was wanting to find a recipe to use it in. I stumbled across this recipe and decided to try it out. Boy, was I glad that I did. This made a delicious, quick and easy side dish. I cut the potatoes, lengthwise into fourths. Also, I did as Hey Jude recommended and baked them covered for 45 mins., then opened up the foil and let them roast for an additional 15 mins. Finally, before serving I sprinkled them with some seasoned salt. My family loved these and gave them 2 thumbs up. Thank you for sharing!!

*****UPDATE on 7/5/06 I made these again yesterday and this time I kept them in the foil for 45 minutes, then opened up the pouch, placed it on a cookie sheet and let them roast for another 20 minutes. Delicious! I used farmer's market fresh golden potatoes, cut into wedges.******Bergy, these are good and I did use the Penzey's Northwoods spice mixture. Our problem with this is that wrapping it in foil created a steam chamber and our potatoes were, well, pretty much boiled. I'll try this again and let the taters get a breath of fresh oven air by opening the packet and spreading out them out for a bit for about 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time. --June 23, 2006.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
