ROASTED LEMON PEPPER POTATOES



Roasted Lemon Pepper Potatoes image

If you've made and loved our Greek Lemon Chicken and Fondant Potatoes, then you will absolutely adore these lemon pepper potatoes, since it's basically the best of those two recipes put together, minus the chicken. Tender on the inside and crusty on the outside, these potatoes make for an impressive side dish. The only problem is whatever main course you pair it with is in serious danger of being upstaged.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large russet potatoes
freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
kosher salt to taste
¼ cup olive oil, or more to taste
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
2 teaspoons lemon zest
4 sprigs fresh oregano leaves, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
  • Trim off long edges of the russet potatoes so that they can lay flat. Cut in half lengthwise and rinse in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Pat dry on paper towels. Season generously with black pepper, cayenne, and salt.
  • Coat the bottom of a large baking dish with olive oil. Lay potatoes seasoned-sides down in the dish. Brush tops with more olive oil; season with pepper, cayenne, and salt.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and carefully flip potatoes over. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine broth with lemon zest and juice. Pour mixture over the potatoes. Scrape zest off the tops of the potatoes and back into the broth. Stick oregano sprigs between the potatoes. Season with pepper. Shake the dish lightly to slosh the sauce back and forth.
  • Return potatoes to the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Flip again; continue roasting until very soft and creamy on the inside and crusty on the outside, 10 to 15 minutes more. Flip over once more to serve. Drizzle more olive oil on top; sprinkle with pepper and more oregano.

PURéED POTATOES WITH LEMON



Puréed Potatoes With Lemon image

Lemon isn't a classic seasoning for mashed potatoes, but butter makes an excellent go-between. This variation on French pommes purée is just the kind of dish that Ina Garten, who shared this recipe from her book "Modern Comfort Food" with The Times, likes to perfect for home cooks. Cooking the potatoes in less water than usual and gradually mashing in bits of chilled butter are the details that make the recipe special.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cold unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2- to 2-inch chunks. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 tablespoons salt, cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Uncover, lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a small paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and put it back in the refrigerator.
  • After the potatoes are drained, pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over low just until it simmers. Turn off the heat.
  • Place a food mill fitted with the finest blade on top of the large saucepan. Process the potatoes into the pan. (Alternately, use a ricer or potato masher, making sure the potatoes are very smooth before proceeding.)
  • With the heat on low, vigorously whisk the cold butter into the potatoes several bits at a time, waiting for each addition to be incorporated before adding more butter.
  • Once all the butter has been integrated, slowly whisk in enough of the hot milk to make the potatoes the desired consistency, creamy but still thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in the lemon zest, reserving some for garnish, if desired. Season to taste, and serve hot. Sprinkle with reserved lemon zest just before serving.

Tips:

  • For a smoother texture, peel the potatoes before boiling.
  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes, or they will become gluey.
  • Mash the potatoes while they are still hot, so they absorb the butter and milk more easily.
  • Season the potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
  • For a more flavorful dish, add some roasted garlic or chopped fresh herbs to the potatoes.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Lemon pepper mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them smooth or chunky, with or without garlic or herbs, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
