GREEK LEMON ROASTED POTATOES

Serves 8

Oregano is Greek for "joy of the mountain." Greek oregano has a more mild flavor than the

Mexican variety usually found in the spice aisle of your supermarket. Look for Greek oregano at

Italian or Greek markets.

4 russet baking potatoes (8 medium), peeled and quartered

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)

1 tablespoon dried oregano, preferably Greek oregano, plus more for garnish

1 tablespoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Heat oven to 500°. Place potatoes in a metal roasting pan large enough to fit potatoes in a

single layer. Add 1 cup water, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss potatoes

until well coated.

2. Bake, uncovered, until fork-tender and brown on the edges, about 50 minutes. Turn potatoes

halfway through for even browning; add water if all the liquid has been absorbed, before they have

fully browned. If desired, garnish with oregano; serve.
