These potatoes are not fried and they taste more like oven baked potatoes. They are delicious and crunchy, super good served with Brigit's Castalan Style White Bean Tortilla. |

We totally enjoyed this meal, and the bottle of Chianti DOCG Guarniente which we drank with it made for a perfect pairing. |
