LEMONY GREEK POTATOES



Lemony Greek Potatoes image

Provided by Anne Burrell

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-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."

4 large russet baking potatoes (8 medium), peeled and quartered

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 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:

  • For the best flavor, use Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
  • Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is well-oiled before adding the potatoes.
  • Season the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and oregano. The oregano will add a delicious earthy flavor to the potatoes.
  • Roast the potatoes in a hot oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

These lemony Greek potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a tasty and healthy side dish, give these potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
