AWESOME taters! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Easy side for grilled chicken. Added some sliced mushrooms. YUM. Made for the Mediterranean Cruise event in Cooking Photos.

I adjusted the measurements as I only used 2 1/2 lbs red potatoes. I actually used less than half of the lemon juice and olive oil and still used the called for amount of water. I did not need to add water when I tossed potatoes half way through and it was just enough to last throughout cooking...however, once they were done there was still a lot of oil left. The finished product was way too lemony for my taste and too oily as well. Will make again using same ingredients but a little less lemon and WAY less oil! I still gave 4 stars b/c I like the flavor combination with the lemon, just a little less!
