I made these last night as a side to go with my Recipe #507211 dinner. I considered making a double batch to freeze some, but I figured because it was just the 3 of us, so there would be left-overs, but I didn't. We polished off the entire batch. (Wishing now that I would have). These are super potatoes! I love anything "garlic" and these did not disappoint. They are quite easy to make, and well worth the time they do take. Great garlic flavor. I've saved this recipe. Thanks for posting. (Made for My 3 Chefs)
