4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon salt

Heat vegetable oil and butter in heavy-bottomed 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts and foaming subsides, swirling pan occasionally.
Add potatoes in single layer; cook until golden brown (pan should sizzle but not smoke), about 6 minutes.
Using tongs, turn potatoes so second cut sides are down; Combine garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, zest and oregano in a small bowl, pour over potatoes and stir well.
Cook on second side, about 5 minutes longer. Stirring once more, add ground black pepper and reduce heat to medium-low, cover tightly, and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with tip of paring knife, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley, stir gently to distribute; serve immediately. (optional - add 3 oz crumbled feta and 8 Kalamata olives (sliced thin) and add in with the parsley.

GREEK POTATOES

6 med. potatoes, cubed
1/2 c. fresh lemon juice (about 2 1/2 lemons)
1/3 c. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
2 garlic cloves, pressed
3 c. hot water
Chopped fresh parsley

Toss together the potatoes, lemon juice, oils, spices and garlic in a deep flat pan about 8 x 12 inches. Add the water. Bake uncovered for about 45 to 60 minutes at 475 degrees. Stir every 20 minutes adding more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
Be very careful not to burn the potatoes during the last 20 minutes. During the final 20 minutes allow the water to evaporate until only the oil is left.

In Greece we follow mainly the first recipe (we NEVER use butter for the oven-baked potatoes), with the difference that we cut the potatoes in the way described in the 2nd recipe, i.e. wedges rather than cubes.

If you use olive oil only it'll taste much better. You can omit the garlic. Try dry rosemary and/or oregano instead of parsley.
