I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes turned out mushy. I think I might have used too much olive oil.

These potatoes are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can throw them in the oven and forget about them.

I used Yukon Gold potatoes instead of russet potatoes. They were creamy and delicious.

Not a fan of bay leaves, so I omitted them. The potatoes were still delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes were undercooked. I had to put them back in the oven for another 15 minutes.

These potatoes were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs next time.

The bay leaves add a nice touch to these potatoes. I also added some chopped rosemary and thyme.

Easy and flavorful! I used baby potatoes and they were done in about 30 minutes. So yummy!

I halved the recipe since there were only 2 of us. It was simple and quick to prepare and, best of all, tasted delicious!

These potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a wonderful herb flavor. I added a little bit of garlic powder and paprika to the olive oil, and it was perfect.
