    Yummy. Put plenty of oil on baking tray so they didn't stick and also sprinkled with plenty of black pepper for an extra kick!!

    I make these but I substitute the olive oil for cold pressed rapeseed oil. I'm a recent convert after reading about the health benefits......half the saturated fat of olive oil, 11 x more Omega 3, more vitamin E.......it also has a lovely nutty flavour which works really well with recipes like this. Sometimes, I also dice up the potatoes so they are much smaller in size - about 1-1.5cm all round - it makes them really delicious and sweet!

    I started using this recipe about year ago, now a staple. To reduce cooking time I zap for a couple of minutes in microwave. Also I find they don't stick as much. I add some spices to add flavour.

    An excellent alternative to roasties or chips. We didn't have sea salt so just used regular, which was fine. Will defiantly make again.

    Made these as an after-thought to go with the Italian Meatloaf (as per Good Food's 'Goes Well With' recommendation) and they turned out quite well. I sprinkled them with the tiniest bit of finely chopped fresh rosemary. Really rather nice!

    I used foil to line the tin as suggested but found they'd still stuck to it when I went to turn them half way through, as the recipe states. I'd used plenty of oil, too much maybe as they didn't really crisp despite being in for the stated time? That said, once scraped unceremoniously off the foil we found they were scrummy none the less! Kids & hub even said they eat these over chips, normal jacket potatoes and mash from now on. Will try again next week!

    Easy to make and sooo crispy. Even better with some sour cream and red onions.

    Lovely and simple. I put them in the microwave for 6 mins then they only took about 25mins in the oven. Instead of olive oil I cut down the calories by using canola oil spray or you could just as easily use fry light.
