Mediterranean-Style Potatoes:Prepared with the concept of my foolproof Mediterranean chicken breast, the one you all loved and that started all my Mediterranean recipes, including Mediterranean meat, Mediterranean eggs, Mediterranean swordfish, and Mediterranean pasta! We could consider Mediterranean-style potatoes one of my delicious potato side dishes, but if you like, you can also serve it as a vegetarian main course, perhaps by adding some other vegetables! Considering the cooking times, you could also add salmon fillets or shrimp to the pan along with the potatoes and make Mediterranean shrimp or baked Mediterranean salmon with potatoes!
