This recipe was great. I hosted a dinner party which was thrown together at the last minute and the potatoes were a hit. In the hustle I forgot bay leaves and pepper but I threw in some blue cheese. It wasn't a strange combo with the chive and garlic and the blue cheese was not over-powering. Everyone loved it.
