GREEK LEMON POTATOES

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp oregano, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 10 cups Yukon Gold potato chunks (2 inch)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a large rimmed baking sheet or line with nonstick foil.
  2. To prepare vinaigrette, whisk together lemon juice, oregano, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper until combined. Gradually whisk in oil until blended. Reserve 1/4 cup vinaigrette to toss with cooked potatoes. Add remaining vinaigrette to raw potatoes and toss to combine. Place potato mixture in a single layer in prepared pan.
  3. Bake, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours. Transfer to a serving dish and toss with reserved vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
