    Melt butter with minced garlic salt and pepper.

These were so good. Followed the recipe exactly and they turned out crispy on the outside and nicely done on the inside.

    These were really good potatoes! I wish they had gotten crispy, though. I cooked for 45 minutes to get them to a tender texture. I followed the ice water method & left the potatoes chilling for over an hour & the butter mixture didn't coat the potatoes like I expected it to.

    Deanna...what a great recipe!!! It fits all of my requirements: full of flavor, easy, yet different. This is the second time I made these. 4 teenage boys ended up here for supper. Thinking it might be rude to horde them all for ourselves, we shared. (Against my better judgment.) BIG MISTAKE. By the time I got to them, there were about 4 really little pieces left, but they were fantastic!!! All of these kids just went nuts over them. I sat back and basked in the glory!!!! Thanks

    This is a great recipe. I used red skinned potatoes and followed the recipe exactly as stated. Everyone loved these potatoes. I will definately be making this recipe again. Thanks for posting!
