These potatoes were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try draining them on paper towels next time.

These potatoes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect amount of spice. I think I'll try making them again with less cayenne pepper.
