Quoting Elisabeth: Olive oil, salt, pepper and mint are great but I like to add some sliced onion, green peppers and red pepper....just for fun. It makes a nice presentation too. |

So... how do we actually roast the potatoes? Im no kitchenqueen so some more explanation is needed!
You just clean the potato and cut it in slices. Put it in an oven-tin with some oliveoil on top, salt, pepper and mint, and just wait for it to be ready??

You can slice or cube. I don't even skin mine. I just wash them well.

I put everything in the pan at the same time so everything roasts together...but I do salt my potatoes near the end... otherwise they get kind of dry. A dash of garlic powder never hurts either.

Ok sounds good. I prefer it unskinned anyway 
But do you put it in the oven or on the stove? I got confused after Elisabeths message..

And if you put your mint in too early, it gets brown and loses flavor. Mint, garlic,parsley, oregano, these are all organically generated spices. The longer you cook them, the more you lose flavor. They should always be added in the last 20 minutes of cooking.

In Turkey I only saw it prepared in a frying pan. They also get a crispy crust that way... delicious

I roast potatoes peeled and whole. If they are large I cut in half.I first boil for 6 or 7 minutes drain and shake in the pan to roughen the surface of the potatoes.I then put them on a tray and drizzle with oil and roast them in the oven for 40 miniutes at 220C turning once. You could add any condiments you want.
