A Wedgie That You’ll Love

February 1, 2010 in Recipes by Annacia

Who doesn’t love great tasting potatoes. These are oven roasted with a little oil on each and if they aren’t pearls of perfect health they are at least better for you than the deep fried potatoes that North Americia is in a deadly love affair with. Not only that, they also taste better too.

MAKES: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS:

  • 8 Russet potatoes, well scrubbed and peeled only if you really must (Try to use evenly shaped ones for this)
  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt (Greek seasoned sea salt is incrediable)
  • 2 teaspoons oregano, dried
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Boil potatoes for approximately 15 minutes in a large pot of salted water.
  2. Drain and let cool somewhat.
  3. Peel potatoes if desired and cut into wedges.
  4. Whisk together all other ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with potatoes to coat.
  5. Arrange potatoes in a greased baking pan or dish.
  6. Roast at 400 degrees, turning once, for about 40 minutes.

NOTE:

  • I had enough of the marinade left after coating the potatoes to soak my pork loin chops in for the first 20 mins of potato roasting time. At that point I just put the pork on the same pan with the potatoes and with the remaining 20 mins time @400F thay were beautifully done and tender.
