These potatoes were a disappointment. They were bland and lacked flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out as good as everyone else's. They were still edible, but they weren't as flavorful as I had hoped.

These potatoes are a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I often make a big batch of roasted potatoes on the weekend and then use the leftovers to make this dish during the week.

I didn't have any fresh oregano, so I used dried oregano instead. The potatoes still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious lemon-garlic flavor.
