If I were a straight guy, Nigella Lawson would be my dream date. The accent, the eyes, and the talent with making some scrumptious stuff in the kitchen. She’s always struck me as one of the pretty people who was graced with an extra bounty of gifts with her talent for cooking. She definitely knew how to make a name and a brand for herself, and the rest of us took our inspiration from that in whatever way we could.
For me, it works best in something simple, like this dish of potatoes I recently saw her make. According to her, she had them in Australia, as one does, and brought her own twists to them. I did the same, as I made them mostly from memory, and mine is getting more faulty with each passing day.
Heres what I did.
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut up six or seven yellow potatoes into uniform 1 inch pieces, leaving the skin on (that’s where all the nutrients are!) Douse in olive oil and cover with a few cloves of garlic, minced. Sprinkle some dried oregano over this, along with salt and pepper, toss together, and spread out on a baking tray. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, turning once.
Now for the good part. After pulling the potatoes from the oven, put them into a serving dish while hot and sprinkle with a healthy dose of crumbled feta cheese. Add some fresh oregano if you have it, and dig in.
This shit is super easy, and super good.
In the worlds of Nigella, ‘That’s me, done.’
