  I used about 6 large potatoes to make enough for 2 people. Used a bit more butter than in the recipe to get it to crisp up. Would recommend :-)

  I have to say I think that this was pretty tedious. The potato dried out a lot and I think that to avoid this one would have to use a large amount of butter which would make it horribly greasy. Even with lots of seasoning, it was just like eating hard potato crisps. It might improve if one were to par boil the potatoes for 5 or ten minutes and then cook them in the oven for a much shorter time
