Great potatoes; I ended up eating way too many! :) Made with dried sage and minced the garlic. These roasted up nicely alongside our meatloaf. Made for Zaar Stars.

Nice roasted potatoes. I used fresh sage from that garden that has survived the winter snow, a little less than the 1/3 cup called for. I liked the lemon zest and garlic...could have used a little more oil and dash of seasoning. Crispy on the outside and nice and tender inside, they were a good accompaniment to tonight's dinner.

I followed the instructions as listed, using whole mini red potatoes. I love these, they are so tasty. Next time I will make more as these are also tasty cold as a snack!!!
