Greek-Style Potatoes With Lemon And Thyme - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs potatoes, new, peeled and quartered length-wise if large
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/4 cup shallot, finely chopped (3 medium)
1 tablespoon thyme leaves, fresh, chopped
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 bay leaf
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0.
Place potatoes in a casserole large enough to hold them in 1 layer.
In a measuring cup, combine the water, lemon juice, shallots, thyme, salt & 1 T oil.
Pour over the potatoes and nestle the bay leaf in the middle.
Roast, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed, about 1 hour.
Toss with the remaining 2 tsp oil and return to oven.
Bake 10 min longer, until glazed and golden.
Remove, discard bay leaf and season to taste with black pepper.
