  1. Fabulous presentation! And, not that difficult to do if you pay attention to what you're doing. We found the flavour a little bland and dry. It seemed like there was too much of the herb mixture. I thought the flavour could have been heightened if the potatoes were drizzled with butter.
     
  2. Wow - so elegant and easy to do! I made three tonight in the microwave and served with recipe#209207 which seemed to compliment each other just right. My taters took about 12 minutes in my 1300wt microwave. I made these ahead of time, wrapped in plastic and then put them in the fridge for about 1.5 hours until dinner was nearly ready. Took them out, popped them in the microwave and taadaaa, wonderful potatoes with our turkey.
     
  3. Made & reviewed for the Cookathon in Support of kzbhansen. Fabulous! I love these potatoes - the whole family does! They are very simple & quick to put together & make lovely sides to a variety of dishes, this time we had them with roast chicken. Thanks Karen!
     
  4. This was so tasty - We loved them. I foil wrapped them and used a "no oil" spray on top of the garlic & herbs. I should have baked tthen open in the oven and will next time. Thanks Karen - I'm thinking about cha!
     
  5. I also made these potatoes for Karen, and so glad I found them, they are delicious. I wrapped mine in foil and baked them in the oven for 1 hour at 350f degrees, turned out delicious! Definately will be making these again, thanks for posting!!

My name is Karen. I love to cook. I collect cookbooks, my favorite being ones you can get from churches or schools that have peoples personal favorites in them. Whenever I visit out of state I try to find 1-2 of these kinds of cookbooks. My hobbies are painting, cross stitch, scrapbooking and spending time with my 3 children. Megan 21 years old, Jeremy 16 Years old, and Clayton 8 years old. People love my pizza Swirls. I love all foods. I love to try complicated recipes for fun and I make alot of my own breads. My kids love to help me cook I think its a great time to get to communicate with our kids especially when life can get so crazy with school and such, this is a great habit we have gotten into, cooking and chatting LOL. We now have a smoothie night where we make an assortment of smoothies as a dessert, and on occasion we have had smoothies for dinner but that is a rare occasion. Its kids choice and they have fun on recipezaar because I have dedicated a cookbook just to smoothies. My daughter is getting creative in her smoothie endeavors and coming up with some incredible ideas! In Jan 09 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and have just began the treatments to get myself back up to speed. *UPDATE* November 2009 I have finished my radiation and chemotherapy and am on the mend. Chemo caused nerve damage in my leg so I am unable to walk without a cane and a brace but otherwise doing great!!!!!!!! <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=2">Cooking Q & A Forum Host</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=27">Desserts Forum Host</a></li> In september of 2009, The Pink ribbon tour came through Wickenburg.
