Greek Lemon Potatoes

Greek potatoes, slow cooked and flavored with lemon, make the ultimate side dish. Potatoes are roasted with mustard, lemon, oregano, and olive oil until they melt in your mouth. Traditional Greek lemon potatoes like these don't use any chicken broth or similar. They're as simple as they are delicious!

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

6 large yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into thin wedges
¾ cup water
½ cup lemon juice
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Arrange potatoes in a single layer in a large baking dish or roasting pan.
Mix water, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper together. Pour over the potatoes and stir to coat.
Bake in the preheated oven, carefully turning over halfway through, until potatoes are tender and nearly all excess liquid has evaporated, 75 to 90 minutes.

Cook’s Note

The type of potato makes all the difference in this dish; use Yukon gold or yellow potatoes for best results. Check occasionally to ensure the potatoes aren't drying out too much; add a little more water if needed.

The mustard is optional but adds nice flavor without tasting of mustard. Use a Dijon, German, or even whole grain mustard.

Turkey Tamale Pie

Even if your turkey is perfectly cooked, the reheated leftovers can be dry and uninteresting. This turkey tamale pie will rescue the last remnants of your bird in a significantly more exciting and flavorful way than the usual soup. There are two basic types of tamale pie, one with a cornbread topping and the other with traditional masa dough. Here, I wanted to create something that gives us the best of both, and I was delighted with how this came out. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro if desired.
