Very nice! Turned out perfect. Thanks.

I used red potatoes instead of russet but otherwise followed the recipe. The potatoes took longer to cook and the potato skins ended up almost burnt. I think they would turn out better if you baked them in the oven instead. The flavour was okay, but please note that if you are using garlic powder instead of garlic salt, you'll need to add salt to the spice mix.

I asked my husband if he liked these potatoes and he said, "They're the best I've ever had." That's quite the compliment from an honest and understated man. I only used 2 potatoes but kept the other measurements the same. I managed to only dirty one dish by draining the potatoes using the lid of the pot, tossing them with the seasonings right in the pot, and then throwing them on the grill outside. The smoky grilled flavor mingled quite nicely with the spices. It was a perfect accompaniment to some grilled tofu.
