I scaled this back for 1 medium potato and baked 6 1/2 minutes in the microwave making for a quick lunch, while the potato cooked I made up the mix also adding some finely sliced red shallot and served it with a simple cucumber and tomato salad with a little extra parmesan shaved over the potato and salad. Thank you twissis, made for Healthy Choices ABC Tag Game.

This was really tasty! I admit I did dd a little butter to the potato, but otherwise followed the recipe. I used garlic but used fresh ground pepper instead of lemon pepper as that's what I have. It added a lovely, fresh flavor to the potatoes, with lots and lots of herb goodness! Thanks so much for posting, Twissis! Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag game.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
