Lemon Greek Potatoes

A friend who worked in a Greek restaurant made these for me and I was addicted. I rudely ate out of the serving dish and dabbed my potato in the lovely lemon sauce at the bottom. Mmmmm... Anyway, she searched forever to find the closest recipe to the potatoes that they made at the restaurant, and she found this one:

Ingredients
• 3 lbs waxy potatoes (I prefer to leave the skins on)
• 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 1/2 C chicken stock

Shortcut directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400. Cut potatoes into chunks.

2. Toss the cut potatoes in olive oil and place in a glass baking dish and microwave for 10-15 minutes while your oven is heating until your potatoes are starting to get tender.

3. Combine the rest of the sauce ingredients and pour on potatoes. Bake for 20 minutes until potatoes begin to brown and get a little crispy and the sauce at the bottom is thickened from the starch.

Long directions:
1. Cut potatoes into chunks and combine all ingredients to marinate for 2 hours.

2. Bake potatoes and sauce in glass baking dish at 400 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.


Whether you marinate them or not, these potatoes have quite a punch.
