Wonderful flavours in this potato dish and a nice change from our usual mashed potatoes. Thanks for sharing.

I browsed many lemon potato recipes (on this site and others) and decided to try this one. My daughter was dubious about lemon with potatoes but she absolutely loved them. My boyfriend and I had lemon potatoes at a Greek restaurant in Jasper that were soooooo good. I cooked this recipe for him last night and he said these were even better! The second time I made them, I used Italian seasoning instead of oregano and found the flavour to be better. Did not use salt at all and doubled up on the garlic!

This easy set in oven and almost forget recipe is very similar to one given to me by my daughter's Greek mother in law. I halved the recipe and didn't stir at all and it came out just right. Browned on the tops but soft inside. The lemon taste was not overpowering at all. Went well with our steak & salad meal. Thanks for a real keeper:)
