Simple yet delicious, this recipe pairs two popular garden harvests for a tasty dish the whole family will love. Many of you have summer spuds ready to dig or already dug from the garden. With a dash of lemon, butter and fragrant oregano (freshly snipped from the garden!) you can spruce up your roast spuds.
Ingredients:
- 8 good sized potatoes, cut into quarters (floury potatoes like Agria work best)
- 2T melted butter
- 2T olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 crushed garlic cloves
- 1T dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Serves: 4-6
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Method:
- Heat oven to 180°C.
- Scrub or peel potatoes and cut into quarters (or smaller if you like).
- Boil gently in salted water for around 10-15 minutes.
- They shouldn't be cooked through, just soft on the outside. Drain well.
- Put the lid on and give the pan a good strong shake to fluff up the outside of the potatoes.
- Mix together butter, oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano in a small bowl.
- Add the mixture to the potatoes and toss briefly and gently, just to coat the potatoes.
- Tip into a large roasting tray and separate so they are not crowded in the pan.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for about 30 minutes - or until golden brown on the bottom, no need to turn them.

Potato's were yum!

This recipe is perfect! Potato was juicy and piquant. I only added a little zest of a lemon.
