Greek Potatoes

[Guest guest]

I'm not really a sweets person. I'm not crazy about cake or cookies

or pie. But dangle something salty or carb-y in front of me, and

you've got yourself a deal. These potatoes are the quintessential

comfort food. They are baked to perfection, and the lemon mixture

thickens up to a lovely coating for the potatoes. Of course the

aroma while these are cooking is amazing. Pictures can be seen at

Greek Potatoes

(This recipe is courtesy of Moosewood Cookbooks)

 

6 medium-size potatoes, cut into large cubes (about 3lb)

1/2 c fresh lemon juice

1/3 c vegetable oil

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 1/2 tsp oregano

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 c hot water

 

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Combine potatoes - garlic in a baking

dish, lightly sprayed with cooking oil. Pour hot water over and

place into an oven. Bake an hour and a half, stirring every 20

minutes to prevent sticking. Add water if necessary. During the last

30 minutes of baking, allow water to evaporate. If desired, place

under a broiler when finished baking to crisp up the potatoes. Serve

and enjoy.
