Simple Greek Home Fries in a Quickness image

We make breakfast for our Saturday staff and students and I was requested to make a large batch of Greek home fries. In a hurry after work on Friday, I decided to experiment. These are now the Saturday potatoes side for the breakfasts at school. I also have to make additional amounts as DH and DS said "not fair" if we do not get any. LOL Enjoy! I reduced amounts for a family of 4-6 not the 30 I need to make for Saturdays. adjust seasonings to taste.

Categories     Potato

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium potatoes (I like red)
1 medium onion, chopped small
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove (diced)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon basil (I use fresh so chop into small pieces)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (I use more to taste as I love the freshness)
3 teaspoons butter or 3 teaspoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Wash and pierce potatoes and microwave 10 min (varies depending n power of microwave) until you can push a dent in to potatoes.
  • Let cool.
  • Slice in quarters then slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • In the meantime add oil, garlic, pepper, oregano and diced onions in a large fry pan (big enough to hold potatoes).
  • Sauté until just cooked, when onions turn translucent (about 3 minutes).
  • Once potatoes are cut, add to fry pan, add butter and basil and cook over medium heat, stirring so potatoes can pick up all the juices and flavors.
  • Turn to low, cover and let cook for an additional 10 minutes (approx) until potatoes get the crispy brown edges. mmmmm.
  • Add lemon juice and mix.
  • Serve.
  • Note: times are approximately depending on microwave and stove type. I have propane so it cooks hot.
  • ** Add in more or less spices to your liking. I need to adjust for students. With my family, I add in more garlic and lemon and no salt.
  • ***Prep and cook times overlap- this is on the table at my home in less than 30 minutes start to finish.

These Greek home fries were a hit at our family breakfast! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with the perfect amount of flavor from the herbs and lemon.
