Greek-style lemon and garlic roast potatoes

Side Serves 4 1h 10 min

Very easy to make, these Greek-style roast potatoes are heavy on the olive oil but delicious. Perfect accompaniment to a BBQ. If you use small potatoes you needn't peel them, but it's best if you cut them in half to give a good surface for absorbing the garlicky, lemony flavours.

Ingredients

  • 800-900g potatoes, cut into wedges (peeling optional)
  • 200ml olive oil
  • 70ml vegetable or chicken stock
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, finely sliced
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tsp fresh oregano or rosemary leaves, or a combination, chopped
  • salt and pepper

Method

Prep time: 10 min
Cooking time: 1h

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 220°C/Gas 7. Place potatoes in a gratin dish, shallow casserole, or deep roasting tray so that they form a single layer.

  • Step 2

    Mix together remaining ingredients and pour over the potatoes. Bake for 25 minutes then turn potatoes and baste.

  • Step 3

    Return to oven for another 30 minutes or until brown and sticky. Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed and another squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
