These were really good. I (almost) made them as directed; I thought we had marjoram, but it wasn't in the cupboard (I searched Google for a substitute, and they said to use oregano, which was already in the seasoning), I used 1 tsp of garlic powder instead of fresh garlic, and I did not measure out the oil. I added just enough oil to coat the potatoes I had, because the amount of oil you use will change depending on how many potatoes you cut up. We always line the pan with non-stick aluminium foil for an easy clean-up and fewer potatoes stuck to the pan. Here in Canada, they used to sell "Shake n' Bake" for potatoes (they still sell it for chicken) until about 5 years ago; ever since, we have been looking for a substitute. This is the closest we have come to recreating our old favourite! We found there to be too much of a spicy after taste with the red pepper, so we might reduce that next time, but overall a wonderful recipe. Making it at home is better than a mix anyhow, because you can control the salt content, and there are no preservatives. With a few tweaks here and there, we should be able to recreate our favourite potatoes :)
