Cumin Potatoes and Tomatoes

This well-flavored dish nicely accompanies roasted fowl or meats. I would describe the flavor as mildly Middle-Eastern. NOTE: 600 g potatoes equals about 8 medium potatoes, and it is best if you can use potatoes of roughly equal size. If you must use large potatoes, quarter them.

Very easy to prepare & a different side dish for my family. I personally found the cinnamon flavor a little distracting and would reduce the amount next time. The dish had an unexpected sweetness. I also guessed at the oven temps as I am not familar with C temps. I baked at 375 & then reduced to 350. The dish was still a little watery after that length of time, although the potatoes were tender. I am glad I tried the recipe. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
