Recipe Review

I've never had oven fried potatoes with lemon juice. I'll be having them again though as these were delicious. My son and son in law loved them too. They both love salt and vinegar potato chips and said these reminded them a bit of those.

I'm editing this to include my notes to Zosia.

I was skeptical at first about the water and amount of olive oil. Despite this all was absorbed or evaporated and resulted in mostly crispy potatoes after drizzling with the lemon juice for the final cook time. I loved the crispest ones the best that were closest to the edges of the pan. I did make a mistake and lined my pan with cheep aluminum foil thinking clean up would be easier but for some reason they stuck in places and I lost some of potato goodness. I did remove the foil before the final bake time with the lemon juice.

This method looks a little different, especially with the addition of water to the pan. It also uses quite a bit of oil......did you find that most of the liquid got left behind or did it evaporate or get absorbed by the potatoes?

I'd like to give these a try.

Zosia, I should have mentioned the oil and water in my review. May go back and edit as I thought of something else last night. I was a bit hesitant about the all that oil at first and skeptical about the water but I forged ahead and used it all and it was absorbed or evaporated.
