What a great recipe...so easy and soooo delicious! Definately a keeper in my Favorites of 2012. I didn't add any extra oil or herbs to my dish at the end and we really felt that we didn't need to. Served these with Weight Watchers Cajun Fish (4 Points)#426278 and Broccoli and Cranberry Salad#190492. Made a perfect dinner. Thank you for posting. Made for Fall Pick a Chef 2012 tag game.

Fantastic recipe! Mine cooked up perfectly in 1 hour and were SO flavorful. I didn't add any extra herbs or oil after cooking and they were perfect. So easy and so delicious - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring PAC 2009

I LOVE this recipe - it's delicious and addictive. I reduce the olive oil to 3 Tbsps and use all baby red potatoes. I also usually cut them in half and turn them often so they soak up all the great flavors. BTW, I never add more oil or herbs at the end, just don't think more is needed. Try it, you'll love it, too!
