As I supposed this dish came out perfect and we all enjoyed it very much.<br/>The blend of spices was delicious and this made a delicious sidedish to chicken marinated with a combination of yogurt, turmeric, ras el hanout, salt, pepper, coriander ground. To complete the set I suggest a small portion of plain yogurt served with the potatoes and the chicken and in summer a cold vegetable soup or some salad. <br/>Enjoy this delicious potatoes!
