Cumin Potatoes

JustJanS's Note:

This is a regular family favourite that we serve with Moroccan or Lebanese style meals. Or Greek or Italian-whatever we feel like I guess! And we love these so much, 2 spuds each is almost not enough!

Since there was only two of us for dinner, I cut this recipe in half. This is a delicious potato dish and so easy to make. I have just recently discovered cumin and have been cooking more and more with it. And you are so right, this goes great with Middle Eastern food. Thanks for sharing this. :-)

These are great. Served them with baked vegetarian beans and bread and butter as a quick supper. The flavour is subtle, yet intense. Definitely will make them again.

Excellent. I served these as an accompaniment to Jan's "Chicken with prunes, apricots and honey" and one of my dinner guests went back for a third helping!!
