Aussie Swap #65: Couldn't locate the piri-piri sauce but after a little research found that one of the spicy pepper sauces in our fridge would make a great substitute - AND IT DID!! What a delicious and flavorful/spicy dish!! We made these for breakfast along side some spicy sausage and eggs - delicious!!

One of my favourite ways to have potatoes since I first tried it at my Portuguese friend's. My friend puts everything together from the beginning, including the sauce, but this is even better. Thanks for sharing this winner!<br/>Made for PAC Spring 2012

*Made for Australia/ NZ Swap #64* Looked up Piri-Piri and KNEW we couldn't handle that much heat, so swapped out for Frank's RedHot -- much milder but flavorful. Loved the texture of the first-roasted potatoes -- lovly to have enough left-over for another meal ! Thanks for posting, Jubes !
