ROASTED POTATOES WITH GARLIC, LEMON, AND OREGANO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place the potatoes in a single layer in a 13-x-9-inch baking dish and pour the oil over them. Add the garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste and toss well to coat with the oil.
• Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes. Add the stock, toss and bake for 10 minutes more. Add the lemon juice, toss and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the potatoes are cooked through. If you like, preheat the broiler and broil the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Sprinkle with the fresh oregano and serve at once.
• Variation:
• Dissolve 1 tablespoon tomato paste in the stock, and reduce the amount of lemon juice to taste. Substitute Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for the black pepper.

GREEK STYLE POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, mix olive oil, water, garlic, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, bouillon cubes and pepper.
• Arrange potatoes evenly in the bottom of a medium baking dish. Pour the olive oil mixture over the potatoes. Cover, and bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the preheated oven, turning occasionally, until tender but firm.

LEMONY GREEK POTATOES

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!

COUNTRY STYLE GREEK POTATOES

Steps:

• To prepare this delicious Greek potato stew recipe (patates yahni), start by preparing your vegetables. Peel and cut the potatoes into 2.5 cm chunks, finely chop (or grate) the onion and garlic and set aside. Peel the tomatoes and grate. You may find it easier to peel the tomatoes if you blanch them first for 1 minute in hot water. (For this Greek potato stew recipe, it is best to use fresh tomatoes rather than canned.).
• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and onion and sauté until softened. Stir in the garlic and sauté for 1 more minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 more minute.
• In the same pot add the grated tomatoes, the potatoes, sprinkle with chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper. Add just enough warm water to cover the potatoes (whilst stirring ocassionally) and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to medium, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
• Greek potato stew (Patates Yahni) is best served while still warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
