When to eat it. No oil, wine or fish, so it fits even the strict weekdays of Lent.
Ingredients
Method
- Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Toss the potatoes with the lemon, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and spread them out.
- Pour the water around them.
- 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.
