LEMON ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200ºC/gas 4.
• Peel and halve the potatoes, cut the lemons into wedges and bash the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar.
• Parboil the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10 to 12 minutes, until soft around outsides. Drain well and let steam-dry for 1 minute.
• Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a tray in the oven for a couple of minutes, then throw in the potatoes, lemon wedges, bashed coriander seeds and oregano.
• Season well with salt and pepper and toss until the potatoes are well coated in the oil.
• Pop in the oven and cook for 45 to 60 minutes, turning every so often, until beautifully golden on all sides.

GREEK LEMON POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed sheet pan, combine the chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice and kosher salt. Toss the potatoes in the liquid to coat, then arrange the potatoes in an even layer, cut-sides down. Sprinkle the oregano over the potatoes, if using.
• Roast the potatoes, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender, dark brown and crispy on top, 55 to 60 minutes. (If the potatoes are cooked through but not as crispy as you'd like, run them under the broiler for a few minutes.) Sprinkle with flaky salt and black pepper as desired.

GREEK POTATOES (OVEN-ROASTED AND DELICIOUS!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 420°F A reviewer has suggested spraying the baking pan with Pam - that sounds like a great idea!
• Put all the ingredients into a baking pan large enough to hold them.
• Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
• Make sure your hands are very clean and put them in the pan and give everything a toss to distribute.
• The garlic will drop into the water/oil solution but its flavour will permeate the potatoes, and this way, it won't burn.
• Bake for 40 minutes.
• When a nice golden-brown crust has formed on the potatoes, give them a stir to bring the white underside up, season lightly with a bit more sea salt and pepper and just a light sprinkling of oregano.
• Add 1/2 cup more water if pan appears to be getting dry, and pop back into oven to brown other side of potatoes.
• This will take about another 40 minutes.
• Do not be afraid of overcooking the potatoes- they will be delicious.
• Note: I often melt a bouillon cube in the water; if you do, make sure to cut back some on the salt.
