2poundslarge Yukon golds or other roasting potatoes peeledcut into 2-inch cubes
1cupdry white wine
½cupextra-virgin olive oil
½cupfresh strained lemon juice
3teaspoonsfresh or dried oregano or thymeoptional
5fresh bay leavesdried is second best
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F
Place a roasting sheet with a large rim or a roasting pan in the oven to heat. This prevents the potatoes of sticking.
In a large bowl, add the potatoes and the remaining ingredients and mix well to combine.
Carefully pour the mixture into the roasting pan.
Roast, uncovered, for 30 minutes in a very hot oven. Use a spatula to turn the potatoes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F, and continue roasting the potatoes until tender and golden, about 20-25 minutes.
Notes
Only use fresh lemon juice. Check the potatoes occasionally and turn as necessary. You want them very crispy, a few might be burned. So what.
