Greek Lemon Potatoes
Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users
This is one of those recipes that the longer you cook it, the better it gets. I used a similar method to these savory sweet potatoes, cooking the potatoes in a flavor-packed lemon and garlic broth. The result is a tender on the inside, crispy on the outside wedge perfect for serving with your favorite steak or chicken.
Ingredients
-
3 Russet potatoes, peeled
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
Black pepper
-
2 tablespoons avocado oil
-
7 garlic cloves, grated with a microplane
-
Zest of 1 lemon
-
Juice of 1 lemon
-
1 large sprig of rosemary, chopped
-
1½ cups vegetable broth
-
Drizzle of olive oil
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into three long wedges. Add them to a large bowl.
- Add the salt, a few turns of fresh black pepper, and oil, then mix with your hands to get it evenly coated.
- Arrange the wedges on the baking sheet in an even layer.
- Bake for 30 minutes. While the potatoes cook, whisk together the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, and vegetable broth.
- After 30 minutes, increase the temperature to 450°F and cook for 10 more minutes.
- Flip the potatoes, then pour the broth mixture over the potatoes.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Flip the potatoes again.
- Once the broth in the pan dissolves, drizzle the potatoes with olive oil.
- Cook for 40 more minutes. The outside should be slightly crispy and the inside soft and creamy. Serve warm with your favorite protein and salad.
