Kleftiko is a traditional Greek dish named after klephts who cooked stolen sheep in underground pits. It is typically made with a bone-in lamb shoulder, which is marinated for eight to twelve hours with garlic, olive oil, cinnamon, oregano, salt, and lemon juice. The best potatoes for this dish are waxy varieties that maintain their shape during slow cooking. The entire preparation and cooking process involves marinating the meat, preparing the vegetables, and using an oven set to low heat for several hours to achieve tenderness and flavor.
