Emily Deschanel Greek Style Lemon Roasted Potatoes

Every time we go to a Greek restaurant I enjoy their vegetables; especially the potatoes. They are lighter and so full of flavor; apparently they make it with lemon and that gives the potatoes such an amazing taste. So I decided I need to try and make the lemon roasted potatoes myself. I came up with a recipe and the potatoes turned out so good! But you know what the best part is? The next day, if you have leftovers, you can either heat it up and then it tastes even better or, better yet, heat it up, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and put back in the oven for another 3 minutes. I promise you – you will ask for more. You can also make the same recipe and leave the skin on the potatoes; in fact, you may be interested to know that there is a celebrity that likes this exact dish. If you ever watched the series “Bones” (IMDB info about “Bones”) , the beautiful lead actress – Emily Descanel (Here’s some info about Emily) apparently loves this dish, it is her favorite 🙂 anyway, “Bones” is definitely a show you need to watch, it is awesome! And these potatoes are definitely a dish you have to try, they are even more awesome 🙂
