Armenian Potatoes from @TinaKashian1

Hello from TINA KASHIAN! Armenians celebrate Christmas on January 6. My teen girls can never wait to open their presents and we opened them on December 25. But our traditional Christmas on my side was just celebrated this past weekend. One of our side dishes was these lemony potatoes. The potatoes are cooked in chicken broth but are not soggy. They are moist and tender, and you can taste all the lemon, garlic, and seasonings. The recipe is easy to prepare and goes well as a side dish to any meat or fish meal. Enjoy!

 

Ingredients:

2 lb potatoes (I used red bliss potatoes)

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

½ cup lemon juice

1 cup chicken broth

1 tbsp lemon zest

4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced

½ tbsp Italian seasonings

Salt and pepper to taste (I use 1 tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper)

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 240 degrees F. Wash and cut the potatoes into chunks. Only peel them halfway. Pour the olive oil, lemon juice, chicken broth, lemon zest, garlic, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper into a pan and mix well to combine. Add the potatoes and mix well. 

Cover the potatoes with foil and roast the potatoes for 70 minutes. Remove the foil and gently turn the potatoes. Cook uncovered for an additional 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes from the cooking broth and place them in a serving dish. Enjoy!

Not even her impending nuptials can keep Lucy Berberian, manager of her family-owned Kebab Kitchen, from the Jersey Shore’s annual Polar Bear Plunge. But her dive into the icy ocean is especially chilling when she finds a fellow swimmer doing the dead man’s float—for real . . .

 

Who would kill a man in cold blood during Ocean Crest, New Jersey’s most popular winter event? When Lucy learns the victim is Deacon Spooner, the reception hall owner who turned up his nose—and his price—at her wedding plans, she can’t help wondering who wouldn’t kill the pompous caterer . . .

 

Perhaps the culprit is the wedding cake baker whose career Deacon nearly destroyed? Or the angry bride whose reception he ruined? With her maid of honor, Katie, busily planning Lucy’s wedding without her, Lucy will have to get to the bottom of this cold-hearted business in time for Kebab Kitchen’s mouthwatering Christmas celebration—and before her hometown’s holiday spirit washes out to sea . . .
