Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Cups and Greek Lemon Potatoes


Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.

Here is my art piece for the 'Cups' theme, an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") using oil paint markers, outlined with a PITT marker on black poster paper cut to size.



 For the dinner date, I made some Greek Lemon Potatoes.  They were delicious. I found it easier to follow the youtube video in the link.

 I used 1 tsp of salt instead of the 2 tsps in the recipe.  Next time I would use less lemon juice too, maybe 1/4c instead of 1/3c.

Here is my recipe:

Oven 390F

6 medium potatoes

1 1/2c low sodium chicken stock

1/2c olive oil

1/4c lemon juice

5 cloves garlic minced

1 tsp salt

Peel and cut the potatoes into wedges.

In a 9 x 13 baking pan place the potatoes and all the ingredients and mix well.  Bake 20 minutes.

Stir all the ingredients, bake another 20 minutes.  Move the potatoes to a flat baking tray and spoon some liquid over them.  Bake 20 minutes.  Turn once, bake another 5 minutes.

I love your cups. My mind kept thinking this was a recipe for Greek yogurt potatoes and I couldn't figure out why yogurt wasn't in the list of ingredients. I guess I should read more carefully.
