For perfect Roasted Potatoes with Garlic, Lemon, and Oregano there is no need to peel them, but I suggest that you halve them, because they taste best when they can absorb more sauce.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup beef stock or chicken stock
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh 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.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH WHOLE GARLIC, LEMON AND OREGANO



Roasted Potatoes With Whole Garlic, Lemon and Oregano image

Taken from "The Foods of The Greek Islands" written by Aglaia Kremezi. This is most always served with lamb or roasted chicken. Use small potatoes for this if you can, quarter or half them and leave the peel on, they absorb more flavor when they are cut and cooked in the juices. This lemon potato dish has extreme flavor, and the recipe can be doubled, try this dish with your next roasted chicken dinner, you will have rave reviews!

Time 1h

Yield 3 pounds potatoes, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs potatoes (use small if possible and cut into about 1-1/2 - 2 inch cubes)
1/2 cup olive oil (or more)
2 tablespoons butter, melted (no subs!)
1 whole bulb of garlic, separated into smaller cloves and skins removed (can use two whole bulbs if desired)
2 teaspoons dried oregano (rubbed between fingers, can increase to up to 1 tablespoon)
1 -2 teaspoon salt
black pepper
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (no bottled please!)

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.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 cups hot water
½ cup fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  • Place the cubed potatoes, water, lemon juice, vegetable oil, and olive oil in a 12x18 inch baking dish or roasting pan. Season with oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic.
  • Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and golden brown and the water has evaporated, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir the potatoes every 20 minutes as they bake, adding more water as necessary to prevent sticking. Allow the water to evaporate during the final 15 to 20 minutes of cooking, but be careful that the potatoes do not burn. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, and serve.
