Ingredients

Method

  1. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Toss the potatoes with the lemon, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and spread them out.
  3. Pour the water around them.
  4. Roast at 210°C (410°F) for 50 to 60 minutes, turning once, until the liquid is gone and the edges brown.

Tip. Baking paper keeps them from sticking without a drop of oil.

Fasting customs differ between churches and parishes. When in doubt, follow what your priest gives you. Not sure what today allows? Check the Orthodox calendar.
