These were very much enjoyed! I halved the recipe, and reduced the garlic a bit. Also added a sprig of thyme, but they would be very nice still without it or any other extra seasoning.Thank you for sharing, Lindsey! -
Great potatoes! Simple and tasty. I added a little fresh tarragon, thyme and white pepper as seasonings in between the layers. I may have over cooked them a bit, because many of them crumbled while turning, lol. Thanks lindseylcw for a nice side dish. Made for ZWT5 2009 Family Picks. -
Really liked these potatoes, easy to make, though it did take longer than I anticipated. But the result was worth it as a great side dish. ZWT5 -
We normally pan fry potatoes to have with breakfast ... this was a great twist/addition. We enjoyed these babies for dinner as a side dish. -
Oops posted the photos and forgot to make the review. I make these semi-regularly becuase DH likes them every now and again. For us, these take more than 40 minutes to cook becuase we found that if you have the heat up too high then the smaller bits tend to burn easily, so I keep the heat way way down and cook them slow for about 1 hour. This gives a more even golden colour and more even crispness thoughout. For personal preference we add more garlic if the cloves are small. Please see my rating system: 4 lovely stars for a simple recipe that we return to often. Thanks !

Hello, thought I should update this page a wee bit now we have a new furbaby called Bismila as well as our beloved Maddie who is the star of the photo. I live with my husband Keir in the North East of Scotland between Inverness and Aberdeen, it is very beautiful here. My DH is a keen salmon fisherman and is in the right place to do this! I ran my own pubs and restaurants for many years until arthritis made catering just too much for me, I am 'semi' retired now and can't seem to drag myself away from this site. I have met some wonderful people here and made good friends for which I am eternally grateful.
