the amount of harissa was too much for me. next time I will adjust this to 1 teaspoon or 3/4 teaspoon.

What a great recipe-wonderful flavor w/ just a few ingredients! Only change I made was the method of cooking-I parboiled potatoes first, added seasonings, and kept in fridge until dinnertime. I then placed in foil pan and grilled outside on med- high heat for about 30 minutes. I served w/ Grilled Moroccan Chicken, Moroccan Vegetable Salad, Grilled Moroccan Vegetable Skewers for a fabulous Moroccan meal. Thank you for a great recipe!!!

I though DH wouldn't like the sesame, but we both fell in love with this one! Incredible flavor with so little effort. We'll definitely be cooking up this one again!
