    I make these all the time when I make breakfast for dinner. When the recipe says to add the butter, I add diced onion. I've also made them without peeling the potatoes, they were great and looked rustic.

    These require a little more attention than your typical easy-cook side dish, but well worth it. SO good and versatile when it comes to spices! Also good in the morning with your eggs and bacon :

    These were very good and they had nice texture. I left mine in the oven for the full 25 minutes. I did season them with garlic powder and freshly grated parmesan cheese before popping them into the oven.

    Wow, this recipe delivered everything it promised (light not greasy, crispy not hard, flakey interior. I followed the recipe exactly. Potatoes sticking to the pan was not the problem I thought it would be. When I first added potatoes to the hot pan they stuck to the bottom. Resisting the urge to stir them, I waited and was able to turn them every 2 mins. At the end of 4 mins, I let them cook 1 more minute before giving them a final stir and adding the water to steam them. I let the potatoes steam in the pan for 3 mins. (only turning them once. They were starting to stick, but I was able to scrape them from the bottom. I then transferred them to the oven and let them roast. 15 mins. produced very light golden potatoes, 20 mins. baking produced, very lightly browned potatoes, 25 mins. made my potatoes nice and crispy, not over cooked or too well browned.

    These looked so good I could taste them just from looking at the pic. I used 1/2 bacon fat and 1/2 canola oil. When they were done I used them as a bed to top with some ultra runny sunny side up eggs. The crunchy outside and wonderful potato flavor put them on the must have often list. I felt like I had gone back in time and was eating breakfast at my Grandmother's table. That is the highest compliment anyone's cooking can get!

    I watched you make these this afternoon and just had to try them! So I did tonight! I used red potatoes, as that is what I had. These were incredible! They are almost like a mashed potato inside with a wonderful crunchy outer. Wonderful! THANKS!

    Have made these a number of times and always enjoy. Think I will try making them with sweet potatoes as another reviewer suggested.
