Greek Lemon Roasted Potatoes, Martha Stewart image

This is a fantastic and different way to roast potatoes. It's great with grilled or roasted chicken and was featured in Martha Stewart Living with trout. From Martha's magazine: "Oregano is Greek for "joy of the mountain." Greek oregano has a more mild flavor than the Mexican variety usually found in the spice aisle of your supermarket. Look for Greek oregano at Italian or Greek markets." (Or you can order it from www.penzeys.com, a wonderful herb and spice shop.) Enjoy!

These potatoes were a disaster! They were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.

These potatoes are a great way to use up leftover potatoes. They're also a nice change from the usual roasted potato recipes.

These potatoes were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some fresh herbs next time.

The potatoes were a bit dry for my liking. I think I'll add a little bit of olive oil next time.

A bit too tangy for my taste, but still good. I might reduce the amount of lemon juice next time.

Easy to make and packed with flavor. I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they turned out perfectly. Will definitely make again!

Followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The lemon and garlic flavor was subtle but delicious. Overall, a great side dish!
