Crack additional black pepper generously around outside of roast. Place bay leaf on top. Wrap roast tightly in foil. Place roast in large roasting pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Peel and quarter potatoes. After 1 hour of cooking, with roast still in pan, carefully remove foil leaving roast and juices in pan. Place potatoes around roast and mix with juices. Sprinkle potatoes with garlic salt, additional oregano, black pepper and drizzle with additional olive oil until coated. Return roasting pan to oven for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Baste roast and stir potatoes frequently. Let roast stand about 10 minutes before carving. Carve in thin slices and arrange on platter with potatoes.
