These potatoes are really nice and very easy to make, perfect potatoes dish for when you have company and they don't take a lot of preparation time. I used both fresh mint from the garden and parsley. I tossed the potatoes with the dressing then arranged them in the serving dish. Thank you Sharon123

Made for Zaar tag. I wanted to make these with the mint, but the fresh mint leaves were way to expensive so I bought the parsely instead. I used a garlic & parsely flavored grapeseed oil instead of the olive oil. These turned out really good and are easy to make! Thanks!
