What a nice way to prepare potatoes. Since the potatoes called for were new I didn't remove the peel after boiling and I cut the oils in half to lower the fat content but otherwise followed the recipe. I loved the crunch from the walnuts. Made for Jammin' Java Jivers ZWT5

These potatoes are some of the best I have eaten. I halved the potatos but kept the rest of the ingredients the same, and after the potatoes were done, i used the leftover garlic, lemon and nuts as a base for a super sauce to go with the chicken i cooked in the same pan. I will post that recipe bc the two were great together.
