Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place the potatoes in a single layer in a 13-x-9-inch baking dish and pour the oil over them. Add the garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste and toss well to coat with the oil.
- Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes. Add the stock, toss and bake for 10 minutes more. Add the lemon juice, toss and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the potatoes are cooked through. If you like, preheat the broiler and broil the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.

- Variation:
- Dissolve 1 tablespoon tomato paste in the stock, and reduce the amount of lemon juice to taste. Substitute Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for the black pepper.

Steps:
- Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
- Place the potatoes in a cast-iron pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, mustard, garlic, oregano, a pinch of salt, some black pepper and 2 cups water. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and toss to combine. Turn the potatoes so they are cut-side down in the pan.
- Place the pan on the indirect-heat side of the grill, then close the lid and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve with a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
ROASTED POTATOES WITH WHOLE GARLIC, LEMON AND OREGANO
Taken from "The Foods of The Greek Islands" written by Aglaia Kremezi. This is most always served with lamb or roasted chicken. Use small potatoes for this if you can, quarter or half them and leave the peel on, they absorb more flavor when they are cut and cooked in the juices. This lemon potato dish has extreme flavor, and the recipe can be doubled, try this dish with your next roasted chicken dinner, you will have rave reviews!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use small or medium-sized potatoes that are firm and have a thin skin, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are too large, cut them into quarters or eighths.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a rich flavor and aroma.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can brown evenly.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
- Season the potatoes generously: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano are all essential seasonings for this recipe. You can also add other herbs or spices to your taste.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: These potatoes are best served hot, right out of the pan. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course with a salad.
Conclusion:
Lemon potatoes with garlic and oregano are a simple but flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With just a few ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that will impress your family and friends.
