Seasoned baked potatoes

In my family we love potatoes just a bit too much I think ,lol. One of those foods I must only buy when we are certain to make them for a meal or they will vanish quicker then you can say “to much starch” haha.

So every now and again we choose to indulge in our love for the all mighty vegetable. Needless to say I have a few recipes for them but this one, we make in combination of anything we are grilling especially during the summer. Its awesome for lil kids as well as its such a none messy finger food [if you wanna go that way].

I love Extra Virgin Olive oil because I have found tend to be higher in polyphenols (a powerful antioxidant) than are the more-processed i.e.... virgin olive oil,pure olive oil, olive oil or pomace olive oil which tend to be refined. Antioxidants are considered beneficial because they help the body rid itself of unstable molecules called free radicals and minimize harmful cellular inflammation. A recent study comparing virgin olive oil, refined olive oil and the combination of both found that virgin olive oil appears to have greater heart-health benefits. are produced without the use of heat or chemical treatments. As a result, they retain more of their heart healthy polyphenols than cheaper olive oils that have been refined and processed. Extra-virgin also has a superior taste when compared to lower quality oils. Look for bottles that are clearly labeled as "extra-virgin" or "virgin" when purchasing olive oil to get maximal health value for your dollar and so much better for your family [not to mention you can use it as a moisturizer buts for another time].

Cut red potatoes in half in 4

boil half way I usually leave them till they are still a bit crunchy on the inside and then drain.

then put oil on cookie sheets

2 ~table spoons oregano

4 ~tablespoons lemon

~½ a cup of olive oil

2~ tablespoons paprika

2~ garlic

~salt and pepper as desired

I turn the oven on between 300 and 350 and put in the cookie sheet with all the potatoes and slathered with the sauce . takes me about 30- 40 minutes but that usually depends on how crispy we want it. Just to make sure they are cooked properly I would stick a tooth pick in the middle of one or maybe just taste one ;) but only to ensure that my family will love it,hihi.

Then serve! <

Then if you would like, you can put small dollops of sour cream [our daughters favorite] or taziki which is a greek dressing made with dill and greek yogurt etc. yum,yum great! If you have ever had a Gyro then you have tasted this mild and mouth watering dressing and it truly compliments this recipe.

Bon Appetite and more importantly have fun making this with your kids and then talking about it!
