I thought I would really enjoy these potatoes, but I found them to be too similar to many I have tried. I thought the lemon would give it a bit more, but the balsamic took away any of the tart for me. I think a little rosemary may have helped.

I finished these on the stovetop, but they'd also be delicious on the grill. I thought the microwave might dry them out, but they were perfect, moist and tender. Thanks for posting!

Easy and tasty. I used the stovetop method and regular balsamic. I also omitted the salt (personal preference). Thanks for sharing!
