- 2 pounds new potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 yellow onion, cut into 8 wedges

- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 1/4 cup black olives, pitted and chopped
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss potatoes and onions with olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
Spread in 1 layer on a roasting pan, cut sides down so no vegetables are overlapping. Roast until the potatoes are browned and just tender (50-60 minutes). Remove and toss with lemon juice, zest, oregano, and black olives.
