Great flavor. The lemon and chives are a nice touch and lighten up the flavors of the dish. Would definitely make this again.04/19/08

Made this for Easter, and it was a hit (and much more interesting than just mashing potatoes). I was a little worried about the lemon, but it is not overpowering at all. I did need to roast the vegetables for an extra 15 mins - I used baby white and baby red, so I probably should have quartered them instead of just halving...03/24/08
