Tori's Kitchen - Greek Potatoes
What you’ll need -
Measuring cup and spoons, cutting board, bowl, baking sheet, tin foil, Yukon gold potatoes, garlic, EVOO, lemon juice, mustard, dried oregano, dried basil, salt & pepper, and a non-stick spray.
For the Potatoes:
2 pounds of Yukon gold potatoes (cut into chunks)
4 teaspoons of garlic
1/2 cup of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1/2 cup of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of mustard
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1/2 tablespoon of dried basil
pinch of salt & pepper
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Take your baking sheet and line it with tin foil. You don’t have to, but I spray the tin foil with a little non-stick spray.
In a measuring cup or bowl, combine 4 teaspoons of garlic, 1/2 cup of EVOO, 1/2 cup of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of mustard, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, 1/2 tablespoon of dried basil, and a little salt & pepper. Whisk that up real well.
Next, cut your potatoes into chucks and dump them into the bowl and toss with the olive oil marinade.
Once everything is mixed together, dump your potatoes onto the baking sheet. This next part is key - you want to take another sheet of tin foil, spray it with a little non-stick spray, and then lightly place it on top of the potatoes.
Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, and toss them once or twice during that coking period. Then, remove the tin foil and bake the potatoes for another 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
Don’t skip over topping the potatoes with that extra sheet of tin foil - it’s the only way you can get the potatoes crunchy on the outside but soft in the middle! Also, I know you’re probably already thinking it, but these potatoes pair perfectly with my Greek Pita recipe. These potatoes do take a little longer (about an hour and 10 minutes in total) to cook, so if I know that I’m going to be working later, I’ll go ahead and make up the potatoes and leave them in the fridge before my work day so that I can just cook them when I’m done. I also think the potatoes have a stronger flavor if they’ve been in the marinade all day. These Greek potatoes are perfect, and I cannot wait for y’all to try them! Once you do, make sure to leave me a comment, and let me know how you like them!
