This is delicious. I never get my fill before it’s all gone. It brings together the basic taste of the potato with the garlic and the lemon kicks it to a whole new level. Anyone who likes the taste of lemon should really enjoy this. I have found that on those rare occasions that some of the potatoes don't get eaten and are put into the refrigerator they make a tasty snack eaten cold right out of the fridge. My wife sometimes gets some of the baby potatoes I use in this dish and when she brings them home she tells me that it's time for me to make those lemon potatoes again. It's so good!
