These are the fantastic potatoes you've probably had in a french bistro...the ones that weren't pommes frites (french fries). They are best served immediately when the crisp exterior contrasts so nicely with the warm, soft interior. We served these with a lentils and sausage recipe that I will post shortly. The combination was fantastic, but I honestly think these would be fantastic with anything!

    Well, John, you have done it again. You have posted a recipe for a dish that I haven't even thought of since the culinary arts program years ago. I loved them then, and know that (my mouth is watering as I type this) I will be making this again very, very soon. Thanks for reminding me that there are, indeed, always many more than a few ways to prepare potatoes that are delicious, attractive to look at, and really quite easy.

          John, thanks, have just finished the potatoes, garlic and parsley dish. Wonderful in its gorgeous simplicity. One question; why use canola oil? I started off with canola oil and then couldn't resits olive oil. Is there any reason?

            I added a bit more garlic, less pepper & salt and a bit more parsley all to taste, and it came out terrific with a Steak!

              Very simple and yet delicious. These potatoes are very versatile and could be used as a side dish for many meals, breakfast included.

                I halved the salt and doubled the quantity of potatoes and still it was a bit too salty for my tastes. I did a sauteed version and also tried this as a baked version a pizza stone 400F for about 15 min. Easy to make!

                  The French know how to eat! These sound simple to make and extra delicious with that garlic

                    I am going to save this one. Getting tired of mashed and baked potatoes... :)

                      I'm always looking for new ways to prepare spuds besides mashed etc. I am going to try these!
