    Made this for a Spanish evening and served with flaming Chorizo, Patas Bravas, meat Platter, Cheese and quince jelly and bread. I would make the potato chuncks bigger next time as mine were a bit small for Tapas. Great served with cold Spanish dry Sherry!

    I first made this for a spanish themed lunch along with other tapas dishes and it was a big hit with my friends. I also make a huge dishful when having a barbecue and allow people to help themselves - a nice alternative to new potatoes. Very tasty and low fat too!

    I made these as nibbles for a christmas party. They were a big hit especially with the veggies. They are really easy and very tasty. I chopped mine up about an inch square andstabbed cocktail sticks in to them. They looked fab!

    I made these using fresh chilli and added spring onions - they tasted and looked great. Not only did my guests like them but also my one year old daughter!

    Mine needed much longer cooking time as the potatoes were still a bit too raw. However, they were very well received and tasted delicious.

    Tastes great, and I like the idea of putting it in the oven instead of the usual method of cooking it on slow heat in the frying pan. One problem I've always had with this dish is step.1 where the potatoes are fried; my potatoes seem to always break up into small pieces instead of retaining their sliced shape - any siuggestions to stop this from happening?
