Greek-style lemon and garlic roast potatoes
Very easy to make, these Greek-style roast potatoes are heavy on the olive oil but delicious. Good with roast or barbecued chicken, lamb or white fish. If you use small potatoes you needn't peel them, but it's best if you cut them in half to give a good surface for absorbing the garlicky, lemony flavours.

- 200ml olive oil
- 70ml vegetable or chicken stock
