Pan Roasted Greek Style Drums

Roasted Alberta Blush Potatoes, Onions, Lemons, Goat Feta, Olives

One pan, less mess. Lately I've been extremely fond of these dinners, quick, pretty easy. I think I just didn't know what to do with the drums I had in the freezer. Didn't want to fry them (too much mess), so this turned out to be an easy alternative.

Lots of dried oregano, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, tossed all together. 450F oven, 40ish minutes, done dinner. How easy is that?

I adore the story of the Alberta Blush potato (it's made for our climate):

John Safroniuk said his new Alta Blush potato grew out of a pile of old vines discarded in the garden.

“This was a chance accident. I harvested my potatoes in the fall and wasn’t really as neat as I should have been and tossed the potato vines in the corner of the garden.”

He burned the old vines in the spring of 1992, but noticed potato plants growing where the pile had been.

When he dug the potatoes that fall, they came out of the ground in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours, the result of the different types of potatoes self-pollinating.

After five years of selective breeding, Safroniuk came up with Alta Blush, a medium-sized potato with reddish brown skin and a tinge of pink.
