I saw this in the Salem Statesman Journal and wanted to keep it for later. It comes from chef Carl Conway. Looking forward to trying it this holiday season as a fun and different side dish! Please note that the 'jerk' seasoning amounts make 1.3 cups. YOU ONLY WANT TO USE 2 TABLESPOONS OF IT on each 1.5 lb. measure of potatoes.
