I can't believe I haven't rated this recipe before now. I have made these potatoes about a dozen times already and they are incredible. They are brown and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. I like to turn the potatoes over after 30 minutes to make sure that they are browned on all sides. It is a great side dish with a roast but I would be willing to eat a bowl of them all by themselves!

I love the fact that these potatoes were skin on, less work of course, and so good for you.<br/>Although it pains me to say it, the butter really is a must, so don't be tempted to skip it.<br/>These potatoes were gorgeously crispy, but so fluffy inside....a perfect accompaniment to just about anything in my book!<br/>Made for PAC-OCT '11
