I love Greek roasted potatoes and decided to kick up the spice a notch. Recently a friend of mine made Doro Wat Chicken, which is an African dish seasoned with Berbere Seasoning (an Ethiopian Seasoning). It is such an versatile seasoning with notes of fenugreek and cardamom, I decided to try a new version of Greek Lemon Potatoes. I also feel that tomatoes added to this dish would be great as well. Berbere can be found In grocery stores such as Whole Foods Market, I hope you enjoy. —FoodieFixins

I liked this and will make it again. I wasn’t exactly sure what size the potatoes should be and cut them in what I believed to be small wedges. Next time I’ll cut them the same size as the paneer as they took much longer to cook as written. Nice flavor combo though.
