These fresh oregano roasted potatoes are irresistible so make sure you have plenty for seconds! This dish is phenomenal on Paros, a Greek Island, where the local potatoes have an exceptional taste. If using small potatoes, there is no need to peel them, but be sure to halve them, so they can absorb more sauce. Adapted from The Foods of the Greek Islands by Aglaia Kremezi. Ingredients:
