     These potatoes were delish. The changes I made was: I diced half a large onion and used minced garlic, it gave the dish more flavor than any flavored salt could. WoW WoW WoW - 1/15/10

     Loved this! I think I'll make it again soon. I did cheat though and I put my potatoes in a glass dish and cooked them in the microwave for 10 minutes. Tasty! - 3/5/10
