Directions:
Directions:
Zest the lemon and squeeze about 1/2 or more of the juice into a large bowl. Add oil and seasonings and mix well. Pour potatoes into the bowl and toss well. Pour into a baking dish or onto a baking sheet and bake at 400-425º until tender, at least 40 minutes depending on size and variety of potatoes.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These potatoes are really, really good. The recipe is flexible according to taste and texture, softer if potatoes are crowded and covered, crunchier if uncovered, crispiest if separated on a baking sheet. Seasonings can be changed but lemon, garlic and oregano are traditional. In a pinch use bottled lemon juice or lemon pepper. Garlic gets mellower with roasting so don't skimp. Works well to smash the garlic cloves and let them sit in the olive oil while assembling the rest. Yum!
