Equipment

  • 1 large baking dish (I have used a 28cm Le Creuset stoneware dish for 1kg potatoes and a L31cm x W23cm x H5cm baking dish for 1.5kg potatoes)

Ingredients
  

For the potatoes:

  • 250ml (1 cup)* water see notes
  • 80ml-125ml (1/3 - 1/2 cup)* olive oil (see notes)
  • 2 medium lemons, juice and rind
  • 2-3 large rosemary sprigs or fresh oregano
  • Generous freshly cracked pepper
  • 1 - 1.5 kg potatoes, washed see recipe notes

To finish:

  • Greek feta, crumble
  • Seasoning, to taste
  • Garlic infused olive oil, to finish (optional)
  • Extra oregano leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C or 350F.
  • Add the water, oil, herbs, lemon juice, lemon halves and seasoning to your baking dish. Mix them a little to combine.
  • Arrange the potatoes in the tray, and place into the oven for 40 minutes.
  • Once the 40 minutes is up, remove the potatoes from the oven to flip them over. A good portion of the liquid should have been absorbed by now, and your house should smell divine.
  • Return potatoes to the oven for an additional 40 minutes. After this time, turn the grill on and continue cooking, checking often, until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven, season and serve hot, scattered with feta (if you’re using it) plus seasoning and extra herbs.

Notes

  • If the potatoes are large, chop them into smaller pieces. If they're already small, leave them whole. 
  • Use more olive oil for 1.5kg potatoes and less for 1kg potatoes.
  • I recommend finishing the potatoes with homemade garlic infused oil
