Greek Lemony Potatoes
I love the university broiler back in Ogden...it's one of those meals i crave when I go "back home." One of my favorite things there is their potatoes...they are amazing. I went seeking for my own version, and this one wasn't quite the same but good in its own right. They were a little too lemony for me, so I will write down my adjustments below from the regular recipe. I found this recipe on Food.com
3 lbs yukon gold potatoes or 3 lbs other waxy potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (next time use 1/4 cup)
1/3 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth or 2 cups lamb stock (next time add 1/4 cup more)
Peel potatoes and cut them in half (from medium size potatoes, quarter if large).
Let them stand in water while preparing sauce.
Combine all other ingredients in a gallon size"zipper" bag, and shake to combine.
Dry off the potatoes, and put all of them in the bag and let marinate for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Put the potatoes and marinade in a large casserole, preferrably a white pyrex, approximately 13 x 9 x 3 oval.
Roast for 1hr 10min, turning occasionally.
There should be plenty of sauce left over after roasting.
You can put these under the broiler for 5 minutes to crisp them up if you prefer.
oh man, i was hoping you'd say they tasted just like them! i LOVE university broiler! it's been waaaay too long since i've eaten there!!
