SWEET POTATOES BAKED WITH LEMON



Sweet Potatoes Baked With Lemon image

This recipe first appeared in The Times in 1992, with an article by Molly O'Neill, when Edna Lewis, many years after writing her seminal cookbook "The Taste of Country Cooking," was the chef at the Brooklyn restaurant Gage & Tollner. The addition of lemon zest and juice make this brighter and less sweet than typical sweet potato dishes.

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium sweet potatoes
2 cups light brown sugar (or a mixture of light and dark)
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
A (6-inch) strip of lemon zest (yellow part only)
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Rinse the potatoes under warm water. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Combine the sugar, ½ cup water, nutmeg, lemon zest and salt in a medium saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. Add 5 tablespoons butter and stir well. When the butter has melted, remove from the heat and beat in the lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into 1/2-inch disks. Use the remaining tablespoon of butter to grease a shallow baking dish. Lay the sweet potatoes in the dish in a single layer and pour the lemon syrup on top. Bake until bubbling hot, about 30 minutes.

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.

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.

For perfect Roasted Potatoes with Garlic, Lemon, and Oregano there is no need to peel them, but I suggest that you halve them, because they taste best when they can absorb more sauce.

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:

- To save time, use pre-cut sweet potatoes or cut them into 1-inch cubes before boiling. - If you don't have a steamer, you can boil the sweet potatoes in a large pot of water. Just make sure they are covered with water and boil for about 10-12 minutes, or until tender. - For a crispy exterior, pan-fry the sweet potatoes in a single layer in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the sweet potatoes won't cook evenly. - Season the sweet potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder. - Serve the sweet potatoes immediately, while they are still hot and crispy. They can be served as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Greek Lemon Sauteed Sweet Potatoes is a delicious and healthy dish made with simple ingredients. The sweet potatoes are boiled until tender, then pan-fried until crispy. They are then tossed in a tangy lemon sauce made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great option for vegetarians and vegans. Serve the sweet potatoes immediately, while they are still hot and crispy. They can be served as a side dish or main course.
