Thanks for posting this great recipe. To make it even easier I put the potatoes into a plastic bag & then added the other ingredients and mixed them together. Keeps hands clean :) I then put them into the dish. What I liked was that I could prepare them earlier in the afternoon, meaning more time for relaxing with friends :) Had them with grilled sausages to which I added a can of savoury diced tomatoes after they were cooked and then just heated them through, with a green salad on the side. My friends enjoyed this easy Sunday evening meal.

I used seasoning salt as well to season the potatoes. I cooked them in my toaster oven as I needed my oven for salmon. I found this recipe a little lack luster. I was hoping for a crispier potato. I don't know if this has to do with the fact I used my toaster oven. The flavours didn't bowl the family over either. something was missing. We ate them with ketchup wich added a little more flavour. I was hoping for more of a stand alone dish.

5 stars for a simple, easy to make recipe that we all enjoyed. I had a bit of bacon grease saved, so I used that instead of the butter (yum) and I used shredded parmesan rather than the powdery stuff which I don't keep at home. We were eating this with fish, and found it was good with a squeeze of lemon juice over it.

I think of myself as an old fashioned cook, I serve the sort of food you would find at a country pub, (meat, veg, potatos and lots of lovely gravy or sauces), all very detrimental to my waistline. So you get the picture, middle aged, oveweight housewife, sitting at dust encrusted PC surrounded by 2 (very spoilt)fluffpuppies. <br />I love to sew, crochet, cross stitch, read (thrillers, biographys). I have a weakness for china and delftware.I have a house full of stuff but have yet to collect the find of the century. I have recently discovered the art of quiltmaking. I love this new craft and hoping to master the techniques required to make lots of beautiful quilts. Todate I have made 2 mediocre ones and one not so mediocre. Practice makes perfect. (13.10.2006 ETA I have now made 13 quilts and am currently working on 14, 15,and 16)I am getting better. <br /> <br />My Zaar Review Criteria. I will not review a recipe unless I have tried it myself. <br /> <br />5 Stars = Exceptional, would feed it to other zaar members.You know the type you would rave about. <br />4 Stars = Very good, would feed it to my friends <br />3 Stars = Good, would feed it to my family,but not often. <br />2 Stars = Would feed it to the dogs. <br />1 Stars = Would think twice about feeding it to the dogs.</p>
