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!

This was a nice, new way to make potatoes. I made them on the grill, and they did take about 15 minutes to cook. They complemented our steak nicely and the onions really make the difference. Thanks for posting this. Made for Potluck Tag Game.

Very flavorful potato dish. I also used a touch of lemon instead of the peel and used regular balsamic vinegar. I finished mine off on the grill. I cut the recipe in half and we truly enjoyed it with our dinner. The onions had a nice sweet tart taste and the potatoes came out nice and tender yet held their sharp. Thanks for posting a delicious recipe. This one is going in my top 2009 cookbook. :)
