lemony roasted potatoes Dimitras dishes episode 3

hi everyone we're going to be making a lemony roasted potatoes today it's one of the most popular classic Greek sides that you know that are out there I think everyone has pretty much heard of them especially if you've had lunch or dinner the Greek diner restaurant these are super popular I make mine just a little bit different I think I've probably turned up the volume and flavor like to the max because these are like my favorite okay so this is what you're going to need you're going to need some potatoes some russet potatoes about eight medium sized baking roasted potatoes and some olive oil and lemon juice and then now some spices so you need some salt black pepper crushed red pepper flakes granulated garlic powder a little bit of cumin powder and a lot of dried oregano which isn't almost everything I cook okay so I pretty much cut these into wedges already and I'm going to slice this last one first cutting it in half you want the pieces to pretty much be uniform so that way they can cook evenly okay so I've cut the potatoes I've already juiced about a half a cup of lemons lemon juice I should say we put it in my bowl and I need another half cup of olive oil put that in here that looks like about a half cup olive oil is just one of those ingredients I always put a little more of in my recipes that's just something that I do feel like you can't go wrong with it it's healthy and it's yummy okay so I'm going to pour this on my potatoes and then I'm just going to put my seasonings on whenever you're making potatoes you really want to be careful that you see isn't it properly with salt salt brings out the flavor there they basically don't have a lot of flavor so you need a lot of salt I put for this many potatoes about one and a half to two teaspoons so I'm going to sprinkle my seasonings on top and I'm just going to mix it up my clean clean hand until everything is coated with seasoning this is so easy it's perfect if you're making roast chicken as a matter of fact I do have two chickens roasting in the oven they're good just by themselves actually but anytime you're making anything and you need a side that's really really quick and simple to make this is a really go-to dish that everyone should at least make one so it's perfect with fish chicken anything okay so my potatoes look like they're coated I'm going to put them on my baking sheet there's my oven I already preheated it to 450 degrees I'm going to spread these out like that okay and I'm going to put them in and let them cook for about 30 minutes I'm going to wash my hands of course put them in let them cook for 30 minutes then I'm going to take them out and kind of flip them over so they get crunchy on all sides and then let them cook for another 15 minutes so I'm going to wash my hands put these in and I'll be right back right when they come out of the oven so I could show you what they look like okay so the potatoes came out of the oven and this is what they should look like they should be nice and crunchy at least the ones around on the corners of the pan should be really really nice and crispy and crunchy I kind of overfilled this pan they shouldn't they shouldn't have been as many on there maybe I put one potato too many in here but I think it'll somehow get finished it's okay we love potatoes in my house so this is what they look like and these crunchy ones right here on the bottom that are golden and crunchy are the best one so that's it to get this recipe lemony roasted potatoes and more go on my website www.marykay.co.uk/awilliam visit
