5 Star delicious. I made these to serve with a pork tenderloin for dinner tonight. The only change I made was to use Parsley since I was out of Rosemary. It was quick and easy to prepare, the perfect amount of on hand ingredients, the prep and cooking time was exactly right. The potatoes were soft and delicious. I had always boiled mine first in the past but no more thanks to your recipe. Unfortunately, there are no leftovers. Thanks so much for posting it Dorothy - it's wonderful.

Yikes, followed this recipe exactly and literally almost burned my house down!!! The microwave stregth in 2002 when this recipe is from may have been less wattage or something, but in today's microwave, I ended up with a kitchen full of smoke, potatoes jet black and stuck together in one loud smoldering pile. Ran the smoking dish outside just in time for the dish to pop and shatter. Be careful, that was SCARY!!!!

This was really good. Instead of cutting up the potatoes I choose to use small red potatoes. I believe they're called new potatoes. My potatoes were about the size of golf balls. I didn't have garlic cloves but did have powered garlic. Because I used the small potatoes these were done before the 15 minutes. This is a keeper. I have a gigantic rosemary bush in my herb garden and this is a good use of this herb.

I make this weekly using all sorts of different seasonings (though rosemary and garlic are always my favourite), and even my kids eat them, even my anti-potato 4-year old! I use half oil and half margarine in place of the butter, and usually 3 cloves of garlic done on the microplane, then I throw in whatever seasoning will match with our main. Always turns out great!

These came out so fantastic and so tasty with such little effort, this has definitely became a new go to recipe for me. I did make a few changes though, I used sea salt instead of kosher salt because that's what I had on hand, 3 cloves of garlic, a little less black pepper, I added some shakes of adobo, and I also added a splash of EVO so it would be easier to coat the potatoes. In addition, the potatoes took a few minutes less maybe 12 because after I blew the breaker using to many appliances including the microwave, I decided to see how much longer they would take to cook and found that they were done. This may be due to the power of my microwave or to the fact that I picked the smallest red potatoes I could get to make more wedges. Anyhow they were still fabulous! Thanks Derf!
