Lemony Greek Potatoes With Oregano And Garlic Pareve Food

GREEK LEMON POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°Cfan).
• Cut potatoes: Peel potatoes and cut large ones into thick wedges - about 3cm / 1.2" thick - and medium ones into 3 (see photo in post).
• Coat potatoes: Place potatoes in a roasting pan with all the other ingredients. Toss well.
• Roast 45 minutes: Roast for 20 minutes. Turn potatoes, roast for a further 25 to 30 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed by potatoes/evaporated and you're left with mainly oil in the pan.
• To crisp the potatoes (optional): Transfer potatoes to a separate tray. (Note 3) Tilt the original roasting pan and scoop off as much of the oil as you can (some juices is ok), then drizzle over the potatoes.
• Roast 35 minutes: Transfer potatoes to oven and roast for 35 - 40 minutes, turning once or twice, until potatoes are golden and a bit crispy on the edges.
• Heat pan juices: Return pan #1 with the garlic juices to the oven for the last 5 - 10 minutes or so to reduce down and make the garlic golden. (Optional, Note 4)
• Plate up: Transfer potatoes to serving platter. Drizzle over the reduced garlic pan juices (or toss potatoes in the pan). Serve, garnished with lemon wedges and oregano if desired.

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.

LEMONY GREEK POTATOES WITH OREGANO AND GARLIC (PAREVE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!

LEMON POTATOES

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• Place the potatoes in a cast-iron pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, mustard, garlic, oregano, a pinch of salt, some black pepper and 2 cups water. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and toss to combine. Turn the potatoes so they are cut-side down in the pan.
• Place the pan on the indirect-heat side of the grill, then close the lid and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve with a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

GREEK POTATOES WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, shallots, garlic, oregano, and parsley in a medium bowl to blend; season with salt and pepper.
• Toss potatoes with 1/2 cup vinaigrette on a heavy, large, rimmed baking sheet. Reserve the remaining vinaigrette. Pour chicken stock around potatoes and season potatoes with salt and pepper. Roast potatoes until tender and golden brown, turning occasionally, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and more chopped parsley.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH WHOLE GARLIC, LEMON AND OREGANO

Steps:

• Set oven to 400 degrees.
• Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• In a small cup or bowl, whisk together the oil and melted butter; add in dried oregano and mix well.
• Place the potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large bowl.
• Pour the oil/butter mixture over the potatoes and the garlic; toss well to coat.
• Season with salt and pepper (you can use seasoning salt in place of regular salt, I most always do!) toss well to coat.
• Place the potatoes in the baking dish in a single layer, and bake for 15 minutes (if you are lucky enough to have a convection/roast setting on your oven, then use it for this recipe).
• Remove and add in the chicken stock; toss the potatoes to coat well, and place back in the oven for about 10 minutes more.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh lemon juice; toss and place back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes more.
• **NOTE** if you like you can preheat the broiler, and broil the potatoes for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, but that is optional.

GREEK LEMON-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 500 degrees. 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.
• 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.

GREEK LEMON POTATOES

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.

LEMONY GREEK CHICKEN, SPINACH AND POTATO STEW

Steps:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, warm the oil over high heat. Add the onion, garlic and salt and cook, stirring, until the onion and garlic are softened and just starting to brown, 5 minutes. (Decrease the heat to medium-high if necessary to prevent scorching.)
• Decrease the heat to medium-high and add the chicken, rosemary, oregano, red-pepper flakes and several generous grinds of black pepper. Cook, breaking up the chicken into crumbles, until the meat starts to lose its translucent pinkness and is turning white, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and stir well to combine. Add the chicken broth and half the lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom. Bring to a rolling boil and then lower the heat to maintain a very brisk simmer. Simmer until the potatoes are nearly tender, 15 minutes.
• Add the spinach and dill, to taste. Continue to simmer briskly until the potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes more. Taste and add some or all of the remaining lemon juice, as well as more salt and pepper, if desired. Serve in bowls topped with feta and crushed pita chips.

MY GREEK LEMON GARLIC POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash potatoes and cut into chunks. If they are the small potatoes, cut in half. If they are about the size of Idahos, cut into 6 even chunks.
• Mix seasonings, lemon juice, zest and oil together.
• Toss potatoes with lemon mixture.
• Place in a 11x7 cooking dish. Do NOT drain off any extra lemon mixture.
• Bake at 400 for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, turning a couple times.
• Sometimes I drizzle extra lemon juice over the finished potatoes just because I like them extra lemony.
• Enjoy!
