Name: Greek Style Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients: 4 Potatoes; washed, peeled and cut in small chunks; 1/3 c Lemon juice; (I used fresh); 2 ts Oregano; Salt and pepper; (fresh ground pepper); 1/3 c Olive oil

In 1956 Life magazine told of the shocking death of five missionaries in the jungles of Ecuador. For several months these men had tried to make contact with the primitive Auca Indians. On their first attempt to establish a camp, they were brutally murdered! Today these same Auca tribesmen are all Christians. They are leaders of a small congregation that worships near the spot where the missionaries died. Many educators and government leaders have expressed astonishment at the miraculous change in these Indians. How did it happen? The answer lies in the love of God expressed to these people by the sister of Nate Saint and the wife of Jim Elliot, two of the martyred missionaries. Led by God who is love and not vengeance, these women were able to break down the walls of distrust. In time they were able to share the gospel with these tribesmen and see the love of Christ transform their lives.

INSTRUCTIONS

Source: Denise/who taught with my husband and is Greek
Mix lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper. Toss potatoes with mixture;
marinate for up to one hour. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
sprinkle with 1/3 c olive oil (I used less), dot with margarine, cover with
foil.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until potatoes are almost done.
remove the foil and continue baking, stirring carefully, until they are
soft and lightly browned. Add a little hot water during baking, if
necessary, to prevent scorching. I found I needed to bake the potatoes
longer; keep an eye on them.
