GREEK POTATOES WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, garlic, oregano and parsley in a food processor; add 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Puree until mostly smooth.
• Toss the potatoes with 1/2 cup of the prepared vinaigrette in a large bowl and spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. (Reserve the remaining vinaigrette.) Roast the potatoes until tender and golden, turning occasionally, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Transfer the potatoes to a platter and drizzle with some of the remaining vinaigrette. Season with salt and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve with the remaining vinaigrette on the side.

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!

GREEK OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges; place in bowl, cover with cold water and let sit for 30 minutes; drain.
• Pat dry with paper towels; toss with oil and place skinside down on greased baking sheet; combine oregano, salt and pepper and sprinkle over potatoes.
• Bake in preheated oven at 400° for 45-50 minutes or until they are browned and tender; remove and sprinkle immediately with malt vinegar and serve.

LOADED GREEK FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spread French fries on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle salt on potatoes when they come out of the oven.
• Divide French fries evenly among plates and drizzle with tzatziki sauce. Top with red onion, banana peppers, olives, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.

GREEK FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. To test when it's ready, use the handle on a wooden spoon by placing it erect in the oil. If bubbles start forming around it, you know it's ready.
• Add the potatoes, being careful not to crowd them. If you put too many, the temperature of the oil will drop, and they will come out mushy. Fry them in batches instead.
• Once golden brown, remove and place on paper towels.
• Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
• Add some grated cheese if you wish. Just remember not to salt the potatoes too much if you add the cheese.
• A few drops of lemon juice on top is a must for my Greek taste buds.

BAKED GREEK FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spread potatoes on a baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and stir potatoes to coat. Stir Greek seasoning, lemon zest, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; sprinkle seasoning mixture evenly over potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
• Crumble feta cheese over potatoes; sprinkle with mint.

GREEK-STYLE OVEN FRIES

• Combine lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, pepper, salt, and garlic in a large bowl.
• Add potatoes and toss well to coat.
• Place potatoes, skin side down, on a baking sheet that has been coated with cooking spray.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and lightly browned.

GREEK LOADED FRIES

Steps:

• Toss the French fries with the dried oregano and olive oil, then cook following pack instructions.
• While the fries are cooking, mix the cucumber with the black olives, cherry tomatoes and parsley. Mix the Greek yogurt with half of the crumbled feta in a separate bowl. Tip the fries into a serving dish, top with the salad and yogurt mixture, then scatter over the remaining crumbled feta. Season and 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.
