Excellent method of preparing potatoes - browned on the outside and creamy inside. And so tasty! Thanks for posting this, Sue!

I am not a big potato fan but make them for guests. These were so good, however, that even I loved them! The combination boil/bake makes the texture just lovely, and the spices were just perfect. Next time I might use a bit less oil. I will definitely make these again!
