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."

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.

1 tablespoon dried oregano (optional)
Flaky salt and black pepper, for serving

  • 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.

GREEK LEMON ROASTED POTATOES, MARTHA STEWART



Greek Lemon Roasted Potatoes, Martha Stewart image

This is a fantastic and different way to roast potatoes. It's great with grilled or roasted chicken and was featured in Martha Stewart Living with trout. From Martha's magazine: "Oregano is Greek for "joy of the mountain." Greek oregano has a more mild flavor than the Mexican variety usually found in the spice aisle of your supermarket. Look for Greek oregano at Italian or Greek markets." (Or you can order it from www.penzeys.com, a wonderful herb and spice shop.) Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for roasting, as they hold their shape well and have a fluffy interior.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for 1-inch pieces.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This will help them brown and develop flavor. Use a good quality olive oil and plenty of salt and pepper.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Aim for 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the potatoes enough space to roast so that they don't steam. Use a large baking sheet or roasting pan.
  • Toss the potatoes halfway through roasting: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Add the lemon and herbs towards the end of roasting: This will help preserve their flavor.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
