Submitted by Irmgard

"These potatoes are big favourite at my house during the holidays, and the biggest fan is my Greek brother-in-law, as they are similar to the way they prepare potatoes in the Greek restaurants."

This is my new roasted potato recipe. I didn't have rosemary so I used oregano instead. I also didn't have fresh parsley so I used dried. Very good potatoes! Thanks.

I made this using plain white potatoes cut into pieces since I didn't have any good small ones. I also substituted dried parsley because I didn't have any fresh and I used fresh basil from the garden. I added just a pinch of cayenne pepper to spice it up a little bit. It's excellent!

Really tasty. I never had a lot of luck with roasted potatoes until now. I didn't have 3 lbs of potatoes, so I threw in a small bag of baby carrots with the potatoes I had. I also quartered a medium onion, and added a 1/2 tsp of dried thyme leaves. Turned out really well.

Yummo! Delicious potatoes and they went perfectly with my beef roast of last night. Simple recipe, just mix and pop it in the oven and forget about it. This will be on my regular rotation, thanks Irmgard!

These were very tasty potatoes. Made tonight for an impromptu dinner party and everyone enjoyed them. Easy to make and eat!
