GREEK LEMON POTATOES

Recipe video above. The idea behind this recipe is that the potatoes suck up the amazing lemon-garlic-oregano flavoured broth, then roasted until golden crispy edges. These won't go super crunchy because of the way they're cooked - but you won't miss the crunch because they have flavour unlike any other ordinary roasted potato! If crunch is what you're after, try these recipes: Duck Fat Potatoes, or Truly Crunchy Roast Potatoes.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
2 lemons
6 cloves garlic, 4 whole, 2 finely chopped
4 to 6 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into thirds or quarters depending on the size
Olive oil, for the pan
Crushed red pepper, as needed
1 small bunch fresh oregano, stems removed, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • To a large pot of cool water, add 3 large pinches of salt. Slice a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the water. Add the squeezed lemon halves and the 4 whole cloves of garlic. Add the potatoes and bring the water to a boil; boil lightly until the potatoes are fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes completely, allowing as much liquid as possible to drain off. Cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil to generously coat. Add the chopped garlic and saute until it just begins to soften but does not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the potatoes cut-sides down in an even layer (you may have to do these in batches in order to not crowd the pan). Cook, flipping as necessary, until brown and crispy on all sides, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and red pepper. Add the oregano and the juice and zest from the remaining lemon. Stir to coat completely. Remove from the heat and serve!

GREEK LEMON POTATOES



Greek Lemon Potatoes image

For the dreamiest roasted potatoes - with creamy insides and very crispy outsides - follow this classic Greek method of roasting peeled potatoes in equal parts olive oil, lemon juice and chicken stock. The potatoes soak up the flavorful liquid, allowing the insides to remain tender while the outsides crisp in the oven's high heat. You can follow the same method for russet potatoes, though the final result will be less moist.

GREEK LEMON-ROASTED POTATOES



Greek Lemon-Roasted Potatoes image

Greek potatoes are roasted with lemon juice and dried Greek oregano; lemon is so central to Greek cooking that the term a la grecque (French for "in the Greek style") generally means "cooked with lemon."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large russet baking potatoes (8 medium), peeled and quartered
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
1 tablespoon dried oregano, preferably Greek oregano, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees. Place potatoes in a metal roasting pan large enough to fit potatoes in a single layer. Add 1 cup water, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss potatoes until well coated.
  • Bake, uncovered, until fork-tender and brown on the edges, about 50 minutes. Turn potatoes halfway through for even browning; add water if all the liquid has been absorbed, before they have fully browned. If desired, garnish with oregano; serve.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Choose small to medium-sized potatoes with a thin skin, such as Yukon Gold or Red bliss. These potatoes hold their shape well and have a creamy texture when cooked.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. This will help the potatoes cook evenly.
  • Parboil the potatoes: Boiling the potatoes for a few minutes before roasting helps them cook evenly and prevents them from becoming dry.
  • Toss the potatoes in olive oil: Coating the potatoes in olive oil helps them brown and crisp up in the oven.
  • Season the potatoes: Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices of your choice. This will enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Roast the potatoes: Roast the potatoes in a preheated oven at a high temperature until they are tender and browned. The exact cooking time will depend on the size of the potatoes.
  • Serve the potatoes: Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish to grilled meat or fish.

Conclusion:

Golden Greek Lemon Potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or appetizer. By following these tips, you can make the perfect Golden Greek Lemon Potatoes every time. So, grab some potatoes, fire up your oven, and get ready to enjoy this flavorful and satisfying dish!
