  1. We enjoyed these potatoes and I do think the hot water method helped them to be so nice and crisp on the outside and buttery smooth on the inside. Even though I tossed well in the oil, they really stuck to the pan, so I'd think about a bit more oil next time. When it came time to toss the parsley and garlic with the cooked potatoes, I found the garlic mostly fell to the plate, so you didn't get a lot of that garlicky flavour with every piece. Not sure how that could be done differently, maybe I didn't mince the garlic enough (I'd use my planer or micro grater next time).
     
  2. I chose this recipe even though I had a tried and true fry recipe because the prospect of garlic flavouring. I don't know if I did something wrong but I didn't get any of the flavour coming through. Made for PAC Fall '09
