I didn't have red potatoes so substituted russett potatoes cut into 1 inch chunks, sprinkled a little onion and garlic powder on with the salt, pepper and thyme and sprayed the whole thing with olive oil cooking spray. I added the cheese after I took them out of the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes..DELICIOUS!!!

Very tasty. We turned these into mashed potatoes instead of roasted, and they were perfect.

These potatoes were a nice twist and so easy to make. Mix, pour and bake. I appreciate recipes like this after a busy day at work. My son said they weren't something he'd ask me to make again but he ate them.

This is fabulous! I sprinkled the Gorgonzola on and popped the potatoes back in the oven to melt the cheese for a minute. Came out wonderful, will absolutely make again.

Very good! I didn't have gorgonzola on hand so I used feta cheese and it turned out great. They weren't so great for leftovers though....so eat up on the first day!

This was absolutely delicious. My husband commented that we could just skip the meat altogether and have more of these with a salad. They were easy too.
