GREEK LEMON POTATOES



Greek Lemon Potatoes image

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.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1.2 kg / 2.5lb potatoes ((Aus: Desiree, US: Yukon Gold, UK: Maris Piper) (Note 1))
1 1/2 cups chicken stock/broth (, low sodium (Note 2))
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
5 garlic cloves (, finely grated using microplane (Note 3))
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp salt ((Note 4))
Lemon wedges, fresh oregano leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°Cfan).
  • Cut potatoes: Peel potatoes and cut large ones into thick wedges - about 3cm / 1.2" thick - and medium ones into 3 (see photo in post).
  • Coat potatoes: Place potatoes in a roasting pan with all the other ingredients. Toss well.
  • Roast 45 minutes: Roast for 20 minutes. Turn potatoes, roast for a further 25 to 30 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed by potatoes/evaporated and you're left with mainly oil in the pan.
  • To crisp the potatoes (optional): Transfer potatoes to a separate tray. (Note 3) Tilt the original roasting pan and scoop off as much of the oil as you can (some juices is ok), then drizzle over the potatoes.
  • Roast 35 minutes: Transfer potatoes to oven and roast for 35 - 40 minutes, turning once or twice, until potatoes are golden and a bit crispy on the edges.
  • Heat pan juices: Return pan #1 with the garlic juices to the oven for the last 5 - 10 minutes or so to reduce down and make the garlic golden. (Optional, Note 4)
  • Plate up: Transfer potatoes to serving platter. Drizzle over the reduced garlic pan juices (or toss potatoes in the pan). Serve, garnished with lemon wedges and oregano if desired.

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.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup chicken broth or water
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 3 to 4 large lemons)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes (about 6), peeled then halved lengthwise and crosswise
1 tablespoon dried oregano (optional)
Flaky salt and black pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed sheet pan, combine the chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice and kosher salt. Toss the potatoes in the liquid to coat, then arrange the potatoes in an even layer, cut-sides down. Sprinkle the oregano over the potatoes, if using.
  • Roast the potatoes, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender, dark brown and crispy on top, 55 to 60 minutes. (If the potatoes are cooked through but not as crispy as you'd like, run them under the broiler for a few minutes.) Sprinkle with flaky salt and black pepper as desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for medium-sized sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid sweet potatoes that have blemishes or bruises.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not cook through evenly.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes with the spices and oil: This will help the spices adhere to the sweet potatoes and give them a delicious flavor.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and get crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.
  • Keep an eye on the sweet potatoes while they are roasting: They can burn easily, so it is important to check on them regularly and stir them occasionally.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Greek Lemon Cumin Sweet Potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be roasted in the oven or cooked on the grill. The sweet potatoes are tossed with a flavorful blend of spices, including cumin, lemon zest, and oregano. The result is a dish that is both sweet and savory, with a hint of tanginess from the lemon.
