This dish is my kids' favorite meal for Friday night dinner. I make sure I have this dish as well as other dishes I might be making for dinner. All our friends and family who have eaten this dish comment that it's the best oven baked chicken and potato they have ever eaten.
Not only are the ingredients simple, the process is simple and easy to make. The unique taste is from the mixture of the spices. When our parents come to visit us from Israel this is the dish that is requested, especially by my father-in-law and my mom too.
One of my son's friends, Zach, was sleeping over on a Friday night and claimed that he hates potatoes and has not even eaten one. He decided to try one based on the captivating smell coming from the oven...guess what....he loved it so much that he asked his mom to make the dish for him. Now you too can make this dish. The spices are easily available in the supermarket...Marak Off is chicken stock powder....we like Osem or Telma, in the Kosher section.
BTW....when Zach's mom heared about this blog she wrote to me..."Zach said, make sure you post his potatoes!"....so for Zach, my kids and for all of you too....enjoy.
