I think I cut the potatoes wrong, but, WHO CARES? OMGooness, were they good! :-) I savored every last bite, and I'm sorry I didn't make the whole recipe, 'cause then, I'd have leftovers to look forward to....They were super simple, which is great for a week night, with most of the work done in the microwave. I also cooked mine for about 30 minutes, to crisp the bacon. The resulting potatoes are luscious in their 'butter-iness'; it really permeates them. Thanks so much for sharing, diner!

This worked well for me and was served as a side to rack of veal . It was easy to do and giving the potatoes a good go in the microwave first guarantees they will be done perfectly - nothing worse than serving underdone taties and then having to wait ages while they go back in the oven so I was well pleased with this result.

Delicious! I halved the recipe, and my potatoes turned out wonderfully browned and the bacon was crisp and perfect. I was surprised how nicely it crisped up, but the potatoes acted almost like a "rack" so both sides were nice and crisp. I was amazed at how much flavor these potatoes had! I'll definitely make them again. Thanks for sharing diner!
