These were a very nice side dish for our steak dinner. Easy to prepare, and didn't require any attention after going into the oven. Will definitely make these again!

Just fabulous! Even great reheated the next day for lunch! I just found fingerling potatoes and came in search of a recipe and this was PERFECT! Will definitely make this again and again. I didn't change a thing other than increasing the garlic. PERFECT!

What a great roasted potato recipe! I could not find fingerling potatoes so I used red potatoes instead, but they were still delicious. We will be making these a lot from now on. Thank you!

very nice; used the purple/blue fingerling potatoes and had to opt not to use the cajun seasoning as they were for my 3 yr old daughter. very delicious and simple recipe and will make again. we served it with organic chicken drumsticks roasted, with the potatoes in the same ingredients listed for the potatoes. thanks for sharing.
