Greek-Style Lemon Potatoes
The perfect side dish of crunchy, lemony, carbalicious bites!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 lb bag of baby potatoes
- 2-3 lemons, zest of 1 lemon, 1/2 c juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced or grated
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup vegan feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Rinse the potatoes & pat dry.
- Make the marinade. In a glass or plastic bowl combine the lemon juice, zest, oil, garlic, oregano, salt & pepper.
- Slice the potatoes in half, adding to the marinade as you go to avoid oxidation. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400° & line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the potatoes on the baking tray. For extra crispy potatoes try not to allow excess marinade on the tray & give the potatoes a quick blot with a paper towel.For more of a lemony tang, pour the marinade over the potatoes on the tray. and for the last 5 minutes of cook time place under the broiler.Lay rosemary sprigs over the potatoes.
- Roast potatoes for a total of 20 minutes. Check texture & add a few more minutes as needed.
- Serve hot with an optional crumble of vegan feta cheese & a squeeze of lemon.
Notes
When making the marinade make sure to use a glass or plastic bowl. Metal bowls do not react well with the lemons
Remember science class when you cut a potato & watched it oxidize? Well, keep that in mind. As you slice make sure to add to the marinade to prevent this or run the risk or pink/purple potatoes.
Oven temps & potato size will vary so start with 20 minutes, check for doneness & desired texture & add minutes as needed.
Take it up a notch by adding some vegan feta cheese. Violife makes a great one & is readily accessible.
Enjoy!!!!
