Love these! Like eating gourmet fries. Goes with anything.
Awww, thanks! They do go with anything. 😉 And I like that…gourmet fries!
We like potatoes! Every meal is better when potatoes are included. This recipe is easy and I like easy. I can’t wait to get to the grocery store to buy the potatoes. And Bob is partial to parmesan because of the high oven temp, your charred broccoli recipe would be a perfect addition. I’ll make the two together! Yum!
I completely agree! 😉 There’s just something so comforting about potatoes. And that’s a great idea to make both sides together. They both pack such flavor. Enjoy!
I love potatoes! I’m going to try these tonight!!!!!
Just wonderful! I hope you love the recipe. Let me know what you think.
