*Oven Roasted Lemon and Herb Potatoes* serves 4 Crisp on the outsides and full of lovely flavours, these potatoes are like the royalty of roast potatoes. Their flavour is truly amazing. 4 to 6 potatoes, quartered (you may peel or not as desired) 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/2 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 fat clove of garlic, peeled and minced pre-heat the oven to 200*C/400*F. Lightly grease a large baking tray with deep sides. Put the quartered potatoes into a large bowl. Combine the melted butter, oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic. Pour this mixture over the potatoes and toss them together so that the potatoes are well coated. Spread the potatoes evenly into the baking pan, making sure that you leave some space in between each one. Roast for 20 minutes. Take them out of the oven and give them a good shake, turning them over with a spatula and spreading them out evenly again. Place them in the oven and roast for another 15 minutes. Repeat the shaking and turning. Roast for a final 15 minutes, until they are golden brown and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Serve hot as an accompaniment to your favourite roast! |
