I read through all of the reviews for this recipe and really took on board the advice that it could be 'bland'. To try and avoid this I used minced garlic and mixed it in with the tomato mixture, along with a tsp of salt. I tasted on of the potatoes just before putting the lemon juice on them and was still a bit sceptical... It seemed as though something was missing. But 5 minutes later the flavour had worked perfectly!! The lemon really mustn't be skipped as it is what makes these potatoes fabulous! Thanks for a real keeper Sarah Jayne!

I don't know if I was just expecting too much flavor because of the garlic, tomato paste, and smoked Spanish paprika, but I agree they were a little bland. I think they could use more of the tomato paste and paprika. We couldn't really taste the garlic much either. We ended up putting ketchup on them and eating them like home fries.

These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
