I had meant to make papas arrugadas or wrinkled potatoes, but I bought the wrong kind of potatoes so I was left with making this recipe instead. It was good, but not great, and I don't think it was worth all the effort it took (peeling & slicing mostly). My biggest mistake was not pre-heating the oven before making them (the recipe didn't say to do so), which led to the potatoes not being fully cooked after 45 minutes - make sure you do preheat it.
