Banquet style eating is popular in our house. It’s perfect if you’re feeding people with one or multiple dietary requirements, and also, an excellent way to present food to fussy eaters. I feel it kind of drops the anxiety when children (or adults!) are free to pick and choose what they like. We have the full gamut here – one coeliac, one vegetarian, one fussy teen, and a baby! I make a Greek style banquet regularly, and these potatoes, hands down are the most sought after dish on the table. They are crazy easy, so here’s the recipe my friends!
