1 1/2 tbsp dried herbs oregano, thyme and rosemary are good choices

1 whole garlic bulb broken into about 4 pieces optional

Instructions

Parboil the potatoes in salted water for about 3-4 minutes, no longer.
Meanwhile in a 375 degree F oven, heat a baking pan of sufficient size to hold your potatoes without crowding them. A glass or metal pan is fine, as long as it is well heated beforehand. This will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
After parboiling, drain the potatoes and let them stand for 5 minutes. Then toss the potatoes with the lemon juice.
