    Substitutions

    If you don't have Yukon Gold potatoes available, Red Skinned New Potatoes are a great substitution. Likewise, any combo of citrus would be delicious. Kumquat & Lime, Tangerine, have fun experimenting. Cilantro or Parsley are great substitutions for the Oregano also.

    • Roasting Pan
