Greek Style
                     Lavender Roasted Potatoes

 

6 to 8 medium potatoes (red, russets,  
   golden) or 2 lbs petite red or golden

3 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
Juice of 1 to 2 lemons (to taste)

1 tablespoon Little Sky culinary lavender
   (ground or minced)

3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil (or to taste)


Wash and quarter potatoes. Preheat oven to 350° F. If using petite potatoes leave whole or cut in half. In a roasting pan add the oil, garlic, lavender and lemon and stir to blend. Add potatoes and toss.

Cover the potatoes for the first 1/2 hour with foil. Remove foil, toss, add more olive oil or lemon juice if needed, and bake till tender (1/2 hour more). Traditionally, these are seasoned with oregano ~ however ~ the lavender replaces the oregano in this recipe, and works wonderfully.
