  • Reviews

  • “The lemon flavour in this dish is really delicious! These got gobbled up by this household, thanks for a tasty potato dish.=)”

  • “I love lemon and garlic and this filled the bill.I think I used too much olive oil though.Next time I might try what Bergy did and marinate the potatoes and just spray them when cooking instead of drowning them in oilGreat recipe though.”

  • “One of my favorite creations by this talented food artist. A simple but thorougly enjoyable dish. Ideal for one of those rainy Seattle nights…”

  • “I also think I used a bit too much oil, but they still tasted fantastic (will be purchasing a sprayer soon, so am definately trying again soon).Nice lemony flavour with an explosion of fresh herbs.Served with grilled marinated steaks and a big green salad.Delicous, and my guests enjoyed them.Thanks!”

  • “Garlic and lemon are two of my favorite taste combinations.The taters turned out nice and crispy on the outside – I just drained the excess oil through a slotted spoon before eating them.The whole family liked these.”

  • “Carol, I must add my applause!These potatoes are wonderful.They do make you want to drool.I marinated them for a couple of hours in the garlic, Oregano and lemon juice.When I put them in the oven sprayed them with Olive oil, turned them 3 times and sprayed them each time, a good spray I might add. One thing I like to do is half cook the potatoes before baking them THANKYOU!June 2010Made again and enjoyed just as much”

  • “These are SO good!I marinated the potatoes in the mixture of all the other ingredients for about an hour before cooking.Other than that, I don’t think I did anything different.These are so flavorful, so healthy, and so easy to make.Everyone in the house loved them.Thanks for a great recipe that I plan to make often!”

  • “As I was serving 10 people and using baby potatoes, I added more lemon juice and olive oil.I roasted them for about 45 minutes at 475.One problem was that the garlic ended up burnt, so I next time, I will add it during the last 20 minutes of cooking.Also, the lemon flavor didn’t shine through as much as I would have liked, so I would also add more lemon.This is not a bad recipe…it just needed some adjustment”

  • “Quite good for a side dish, but a bit bland for us.Don’t let this review stop you from trying it.Not everyone likes things as spicy as we do.”

  • “Simple and delicious!I used garlic powder instead of garlic, as a previous reviewer recommended.I omitted the salt and instead, as we are not vegans, tossed the potatoes with some feta cheese after they came out of the oven.Loved it!!Thanks for sharing!!”

  • “Very good and easy too. A great side dish for dinner. I didn’t quite use 1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice the second time because the first time I thought the lemon juice was a little strong. Thanks for a great recipe.”

  • “Absolutely fantastic!I added sliced roma tomatoes to the top, then sprinkled them with salt and pepper.This will definitely become a staple recipe in my household.”

  • “Excellent, I didn’t change a thing.I made these as part of a meze and they were thoroughly enjoyed by all.Thanks for a wonderful recipe”

  • “Great recipe! I changed it a bit and added some vegetables and sprikled it with feta cheese. Great as a main meal!”

  • “These were fabulous!!!I added a bit of white wine but that is all I changed.5 stars to you!!!!!If your looking for a potato recipe to make, this is it!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much Carol!!!!!!Susy”
