These were quite tasty but not crispy. I did mine in the BBQ and it did not take long to cook them. The BBQ gets quite hot quite quickly!!! Will try in the oven when it is a bit cooler.

This took no time at all to prepare--I just chopped up some potatoes and threw them in a pan with some olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and lemon peel and in 30 minutes they were done and tasty. They weren't crispy like I had expected; rather, they were soft, but the collection of different flavors went well together. A very easy and very satisfying dish.
