This are so pretty and unusual and the spices set them off perfect. So easy to have in the oven baking while I was working on the rest of dinner. DH and I both enjoyed these and the look was so impressive. The spices are right on. Thanks so much for posting.

Very very good. I used olive oil in place of the butter and added a little cayenne. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside. I will be making these for the next dinner party I attend.

Loved this Marie! Beautiful, simple and buttery. It was delicious with roast and salad. This is a kid pleaser. Thanks!

Very tasty & quite appealing to the eye! The potatoes end up tasting a lot like french fries because the butter & seasonings get in between all the crisscrosses. I was a little worried because after about half an hour, the butter & seasonings got REALLY dark & I was afraid of a burnt taste. But, it didn't taste burnt in the slightest & I noticed that my potatoes looked a lot like the 2 photos posted to this recipe.
