GREEK POTATOES (OVEN-ROASTED AND DELICIOUS!)



Greek Potatoes (Oven-Roasted and Delicious!) image

These potatoes are a staple in our home. Whether accompanying roast lamb or chicken, or just on their own, we have them a couple of times a week. They are delicious and the ones that get overly-brown in the pan and stick a bit are MINE! Clean up is a little tricky with this recipe, unless you line your pans with foil, but I find that just filling the pan up with hot, sudsy water and forgetting for an hour (something I apparently have no problem doing ;-)) helps a lot.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Potato

Time 1h29m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large potatoes, peeled, cut into large wedges (about 6-7 wedges per potato)
4 garlic cloves, minced (more garlic is a good thing, less garlic is a no-no for this recipe)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup water
1 tablespoon dried oregano (to taste)
1 large lemon, juiced
sea salt
fresh coarse ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 420°F A reviewer has suggested spraying the baking pan with Pam - that sounds like a great idea!
  • Put all the ingredients into a baking pan large enough to hold them.
  • Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Make sure your hands are very clean and put them in the pan and give everything a toss to distribute.
  • The garlic will drop into the water/oil solution but its flavour will permeate the potatoes, and this way, it won't burn.
  • Bake for 40 minutes.
  • When a nice golden-brown crust has formed on the potatoes, give them a stir to bring the white underside up, season lightly with a bit more sea salt and pepper and just a light sprinkling of oregano.
  • Add 1/2 cup more water if pan appears to be getting dry, and pop back into oven to brown other side of potatoes.
  • This will take about another 40 minutes.
  • Do not be afraid of overcooking the potatoes- they will be delicious.
  • Note: I often melt a bouillon cube in the water; if you do, make sure to cut back some on the salt.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves
4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons salt, or more to taste
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
8 carrots, peeled and chopped
4 red potatoes, quartered
2 slices onion

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Wash chicken breasts and pat dry. Separate the skin from the meat to create a pocket on each breast.
  • Combine garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary leaves in a small bowl; stir to combine. Rub about 1/6 of olive oil mixture under the skin of each breast and rub another 1/6 on the outside of the skin. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if you wish.
  • Arrange carrots, potatoes, and onion in the bottom of a roasting pan or casserole dish and season with salt and pepper. Place chicken, skin-side up, on top of the vegetables.

Lower the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and cook until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

OVEN-FRIED PATATAS BRAVAS (CRISPY POTATOES WITH TWO SAUCES)



Oven-Fried Patatas Bravas (Crispy Potatoes With Two Sauces) image

Served with spicy salsa brava and garlicky allioli, crispy hot patatas bravas are traditionally served in tapas bars throughout Spain. The salsa brava is made with pimentón, the smoked Spanish paprika sold as picante (hot) and dulce (sweet). Some cooks include a lot of chopped tomato, but my friends in Madrid tell me they prefer this version, which looks a bit like rusty gravy. As for the allioli, you can mount it by hand with a whisk, or use a stick blender as most Spaniards do. Though patatas bravas are typically pan-fried on the stovetop, I came up with this easier, oven-fried method. The potatoes emerge beautifully browned and crisped, and their flavor is sensational cooked in extra-virgin olive oil. This is not fancy fare. Grab a fork and dip the hot potatoes in both sauces for the optimal experience.

Categories     snack, vegetables, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds yellow-fleshed or russet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1 1/2-inch chunks
Kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 head garlic, separated into cloves but not peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon pimentón dulce, or use sweet paprika
1 teaspoon pimentón picante, 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
Kosher salt
2 egg yolks
4 garlic cloves, pounded, finely minced or grated
1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Put potato chunks in a large bowl, season generously with salt and toss to coat. Leave for a few minutes to let potatoes absorb salt. Add olive oil and unpeeled garlic cloves and toss to coat well. (Don't skimp on the oil; it can be strained and saved after cooking for future use.)
  • Transfer potatoes (and garlic cloves) and oil to a large cast-iron skillet or heavy roasting pan. Make sure to have potatoes in a single layer without crowding. (If necessary, use two pans.) There should be a good 1/2-inch oil in the bottom of the pan. Add more if required.
  • Place pan in oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until potato chunks are well browned on the bottom. With a metal spatula, carefully turn chunks over. Reduce heat to 400 degrees, and continue roasting until potatoes are well browned and crisp, about another 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While potatoes are roasting, make the two sauces: For the salsa brava, put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and let sizzle without browning, then stir in flour and let mixture sizzle. Stir in tomato paste, pimentón dulce and pimentón picante, then add chicken broth gradually, stirring well as the sauce thickens. Bring to a gentle simmer, add vinegar and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce has a gravylike consistency, but isn't too thick. Thin with a little more broth or water, if necessary. Season with salt to taste.
  • For the allioli, put egg yolks and garlic in a mortar or small bowl and whisk together. (Alternatively, use a mini food processor or stick blender, see note.) Add oil a few drops at a time, whisking vigorously with each addition. As the sauce thickens, add olive oil a teaspoon at a time. If the aioli gets too thick, whisk in 1 tablespoon water, then continue to whisk in remaining oil. The finished sauce should have the consistency of softly whipped cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • When potatoes are ready, use spatula to transfer to a pan lined with paper towels to blot, then to a warm serving dish. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve warm with the two sauces.
