Greek Potatoes

Recipe from a cypriot friend. Possibly the easiest recipe I know.

No picture because they just look like boiled potatoes.


WARNING: VERY TASTY. Do not be tempted to make extra to keep for later, because you'll just eat it all.


Greek Potatoes

• potatoes (small works best)
• olive oil
• salt
• lemon

Cut your potatoes into bite sized chunks. This is, for me, about 1/4 for smallish potatoes. Your mileage may vary. Place in a pot with some salt, and cover with water. Turn on your hot plate to high, and set your timer for 15 minutes. When it goes off, check your potatoes - poke them with a sharp knife. You want them cooked, but not soft enough for mash. You probably need to cook them for at least 5 more minutes, depending on how big you cut them.

Once they're cooked, drain them and then put them back in the pot, but NOT ON THE HOT PLATE. Turn it off. You're done with that.

Add enough olive oil to coat the potatoes, add salt and lemon to taste (you could also add some finely chopped herbs here for taste or looks value, but I dont bother), shake the pot a little till all the potatoes are well coated (which is why you don't want them mash worthy), and thats it. They're ready to serve.
