Instructions

Recipe Tips

  • Fresh or dried herbs will work fine for this recipe. If you are using fresh herbs, you may want to double the quantities used.
  • More spices can be added to the seasoning mixture.
  • The potatoes can be boiled beforehand to ensure that they are deliciously fluffy on the inside. It is also great for reducing the time you need them baking in the oven.
  • You can prepare the potatoes the night before but keep them in a pot of water to prevent them from browning.
  • Wooden spoons are great alternatives to chopsticks.
