Savory Roasted Potatoes for a Crowd

The highlight of our Easter feast is a butterflied leg of lamb that will be grilled outdoors - rain or shine. That leaves the oven free to roast potatoes for a crowd. This recipe originally appeared in Fine Cooking magazine. I have doubled all the ingredients so the recipe will feed 8 to 12 hungry adults. A caution - the potatoes look singularly unappealing when they're first coated. A not to worry - they'll emerge from the oven with a crisp and tangy crust. Be sure to use baking sheets that are well coated with oil or cooking spray and keep the potatoes in a single layer as they roast. While they are too tangy for fish, these potatoes are a wonderful accompaniment for any plain meat or poultry. I hope you'll give them a try.
