We really liked the simple flavor of these. Only five ingredients and simple to make. At first the directions were a bit confusing...I had to read it a couple of times. I think what threw me off was the fact that you made two pans worth. As there are only two of us, I cut the recipe down and made one pan. They did brown very nicely, but I had a wee bit of trouble getting the paper off as some of the potatoes were sticking. Also, it did not stay in a wedge shape at all, so I just spooned it out onto the plates. I didn't have any fresh thyme, so used fresh sage instead. (How appropos!) As I said, we really enjoyed the flavor...so much so that we ate the whole panful! Will definitely make again. Thanks Sage!
