Ingredients
- 2 lbs (907 g) BCfresh Warba New Nugget Potatoes (washed, unpeeled)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons (37 mL) olive oil
- 2/3 cup (160 mL) warm water
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) Grandpa J's Greko Lemon Seasoning (or your favourite seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Wash the potatoes, leaving the skins on. Cut larger potatoes in half to match the size of the smaller ones (or halve all of them for faster cooking).
- Whisk the olive oil, warm water, and Greko Lemon seasoning together.
- Place the potatoes in a metal baking pan and pour the liquid mixture over them. Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake on the lower rack until the liquid is absorbed and the potatoes are tender (about 30–40 minutes).
- Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and broil for 2–3 minutes at the end to crisp up the thin skins.
