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 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!

GREEK LEMON ROASTED POTATOES



GREEK LEMON ROASTED POTATOES image

Categories     Potato

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large (8 medium) russet baking potatoes, 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:

  • 1. Heat oven to 500°. 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. 2. 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:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes when roasted. This will prevent them from becoming too soft and mushy.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch thick.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil, lemon juice, and seasonings: This will help them to brown and develop flavor. Be sure to coat the potatoes evenly.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them to get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of roast. Be sure to leave some space between the potatoes so that they can cook evenly.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are tender and browned: This will usually take about 20-30 minutes. Be sure to flip the potatoes halfway through cooking so that they brown evenly.

Conclusion:

Greek lemon roasted potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that will impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a side dish that is both delicious and healthy, give Greek lemon roasted potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
