Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 large potatoes (maris piper)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
150ml olive oil (3/4 cup)
150ml water (3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
juice of 2 lemons
1 teaspoon semolina
salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F
  • To prepare these extra crispy Greek lemon potatoes, cut the potatoes into wedges and place them on a large metal roasting pan. Into a bowl add the remaining ingredients (including the semolina and the 150ml of water) and blend; pour the semolina-lemon mixture over the potatoes and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, until a nice golden crust has formed on the potatoes; turn them out of the oven, toss them a little bit to bring them upside down, sprinkle with a pinch of oregano and put back into the oven for another 30-40 minutes. If all of the liquid has been absorbed and the pan appears to be getting dry, add 1/4-1/2 of a cup hot water into the pan or some extra lemon mixture, before they have fully browned
  • The secret for these extra crispy Greek lemon potatoes is to sprinkle the potatoes with some semolina, as it helps to form a nice golden crust around them. Don't be afraid of over baking them- they will become even more delicious!

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 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.

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.

Categories     side dish

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for medium-sized sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Avoid any potatoes that have soft spots or bruises.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the sweet potatoes evenly and will prevent them from sticking to the cutting board.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they will overcook and become mushy. If the pieces are too large, they will take too long to cook and may not be cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're sautéing the sweet potatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan will help prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick pan, you can grease the pan with cooking spray or oil.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the sweet potatoes cook evenly without burning them.
  • Stir the sweet potatoes occasionally: Stirring the sweet potatoes occasionally will help them cook evenly and will prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the sweet potatoes to taste: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Greek lemon-sauted sweet potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Plus, they're a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give Greek lemon-sauted sweet potatoes a try!
