These were OK but nothing exciting - could use more flavor. However, side dishes many times are not terribly exciting anyway and it's nice just to have a variety. I usually have red potatoes around so that's what I used, unpeeled. (I noticed most of the pics are unpeeled.) I also never have fresh herbs around so I use about 1/3 dried. I also cut back on the onion, and used them for flavoring only as I didn't eat them. It's always a curious thing when most others think something was easy and I thought it was a hassle - I knocked these down a notch cause of hassle factor. (I could get much the same results in foil in the oven, more easily.) They really need to be thinly sliced and my food processor does a terrible job of this - but no I didn't use a knife. :-) I have a manual slicer thing which is easy but still time-consuming. They obviously don't fit on the foil and would be difficult to turn so I didn't. And my budget doesn't allow for foil bags - store brand rolls are ridiculously cheap. So it did work out, but not what I'd call "easy." They did come out nice and tender, but took longer than 20 minutes. One interesting note, though, is that I didn't have trouble with them sticking, or at least no more than a couple of minor spots.
