Oregano Roasted Potatoes



Oregano Roasted Potatoes
8-10 medium-sized russet potatoes, cut into bite-size wedges
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2-3 fresh garlic cloves, chopped
4-5 stems fresh oregano, rough-chopped
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbl. butter
salt & pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In small saute pan, melt butter over low heat.
Add onion & garlic and saute until translucent.
In large roasting pan, spread potatoes and drizzle with olive oil.
Season with salt & pepper to taste.
Spoon onion & garlic mixture evenly over potatoes.
Then scatter fresh oregano on top.
Using hands, mix all ingredients, thoroughly coating potatoes with oil, spices & herbs.
Turning potatoes occasionally, bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and top layer begins to brown.
Serve immediately.
Serves 6-8.

A simple but surprisingly flavorful accompaniment for summer entrees. Have any left over? Add mayo and you have a great potato salad.
