I'm even thus non quite certain how Cindy convinced me, although I suspect her role of the magic give-and-take (this salad on the side, but it was actually all near the wedges.

I'd accept liked to larn a fleck of mash into the wedges somehow, but our sugariness potatoes seemed similar they were merely going to proceed browning until they burned without e'er actually changing texture. Still, this was a success - I'd definitely brand them again, although in all probability equally a side or a snack rather than for dinner.
