Greek Style Potatoes


I found this recipe over at Allrecipes and was very intruiged with the combo of olive oil and lemon. The rosemary and thyme also sounded delicious. They were very, very good. I was skeptical regarding the length of cooking time but they do need to cook for quite a while. Some of the reviews suggested using more lemon but I followed the recipe exactly as written and it was very good. These would be a perfect side with any meat or chicken dish.

We had a spring like weekend here in Virginia so who could ask for anything more! It was almost 80 yesterday! Spring is off to a good start. With Easter right around the corner I'm hoping this weather stays for a while!

1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups water
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 cubes chicken bouillon
ground black pepper to taste

6 potatoes, peeled and quartered

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, water, garlic, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, bouillon cubes and pepper.

Arrange potatoes evenly in the bottom of a medium baking dish. Pour the olive oil mixture over the potatoes. Cover, and bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the preheated oven, turning occassionally, until tender but firm.

I actually made these sometime last year and really liked them. But I was the ONLY one in my house who liked them, so I haven't made them since. I thought they were delicious, though.

they look good! I'm always looking for new ways to cook potatoes.
I'm a lemon fan, but the rest of the family isn't. Do you think that the amount of lemon added here is just enough to accent the other flavors, or do you really taste the lemon?

(They look/sound delicious to me)
