OOPs my mistake on first comment, my bad. What I wanted to say was when I saw the combination of the ingredients with potatoes, I thought to my self wow! that sounds good and a different way to make potatoes. The only thing I will do is cut the oil in 1/2 and microwave the cut up potatoes for a soft center and then cook with onions til nice and crispy. Oh yeah!!! looks like this is my side dish for dinner tonight. Thanks!! ;-)

awesome! i actually add chopped chicken that i fry on the side and serve it over quinoa prepared in chicken stock with cilantro. i also garnish this with cilantro and a touch of yogurt sauce. SUPER YUM!!!

Awesome potatoes! The spices are just right. I cut some fat and calories by using only 1/8 cup of (olive) oil and made up the other 1/8 cup with water. It worked wonderfully. I garnished with chopped cilantro leaves. Thanx for sharing this potato dish!

I had to use canned chopped tomatoes (2 - 14 oz cans), but otherwise followed the recipe exactly, and this was WONDERFUL! I served it with some pork chops that were a little on the sweet side, and these spicy potatoes were the perfect compliment.
