Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 medium potatoes -- cubed

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice -- (about 2 1/2 lemons)

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 garlic cloves -- minced or pressed

3 cups hot water

chopped fresh parsley

 

We cajoled the owner of the best Greek restaurant in town into giving us the

basics of this recipe. Potatoes are baked with a lemon and garlic flavored

marinade. The aroma alone is enough to set you dancing!

 

Toss together the potatoes, lemon juice, oils, spices, and garlic in a deep,

flat pan about 8 x 12-inches. Add the water. Bake uncovered for about 1 1/2

hours at 475F. Stir every 20 minutes adding more water if necessary to prevent

sticking. Be very careful not to burn the potatoes during the last 30 minutes.

During the final 15 to 20 minutes, allow the water to evaporate until only the

oil is left.

 

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

 

Greek Potatoes are delicious alone or can be sprinkled with feta cheese and

served with Egg-Lemon Soup with Spinach (p. 22), roasted red bell peppers, and a

green salad.
