Lemon Potatoes

by Dawn T in Rouxbe Videos

Roasted potatoes with a lemon, rosemary and garlic dressing. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.

Serves
8 to 10
Active Time
30 mins
Total Time
1 hr

Step 1: Making the Dressing

Making the Dressing
  • 8 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup grainy mustard
  • 6 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Greek seasoning (available at most supermarkets)
  • 1 tbsp lemon pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable oil

This dressing recipe makes enough for both the Greek Chicken and the Lemon Potatoes. If you are only making one, you will need to half the recipe.
First, purée the garlic in a food processor. Add grainy mustard, honey, dijon, Greek seasoning, lemon pepper, and salt and pepper.
Pulse a few times to blend. Add lemon zest and fresh lemon juice. Keep food processor running while slowly adding the oil. Do not over mix, consistency should be thick.

Step 2: Making the Potatoes

Making the Potatoes
  • 6 large Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1/8 cup rosemary
  • 1/2 recipe Greek dressing
  • 1/8 cup finely chopped parsley

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
After washing the potatoes, cut off any dammaged parts. Then cut the potatoes into wedges. Finely chop the rosemary. Add rosemary and dressing to the potatoes and mix together. Dressing can be made ahead of time, but do not toss with potatoes until ready to bake.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread potatoes on baking sheet. Add cracked pepper and bake for 15 minutes or until they start to turn brown. Remove from the oven and toss. Return to oven and bake another 15 to 25 minutes. Garnish with parsley and more pepper.

Notes

The dressing for this recipe makes enough for both the Lemon Potatoes and the Greek Chicken. It can be made the day before, but is best if it not added to the potatoes until just before baking. You can marinate the chicken in the dressing for up to 2 hours prior to baking.

Lemon potatoes

I cannot find greek seasoning. What spices do I use?

Greek Seasoning?

I don't think Rouxbe should be using pre-mixed seasonings unless they do a corner on prepping your own series of such. Carmen makes a good argument (see above).

My guess is "Greek Seasoning" is probably a blend of salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, dried onion & garlic with maybe some dried lemon peel.

It reminds me of a processed-food recipe printed on the box ; Just add OUR BRAND this, with a touch of OUR BRAND that. It doesn't teach you about flavours.

I hope we keep using just ingredients and not pre-fab stuff.

Respectfully,

Your Right...Fresh is Always Better

Whenever I have time I make fresh. Check out the Ras el Hanout, which is a spice mix I love to make. It does involve a lot of spices but it's really nice. but when I do find myself short on time I sometimes don't mind using healthy, msg free, good quality spice mixes...and there are many of them. Just read the ingredients before buying.

Cavendar's Greek Seasoning

Cavendar's Brand Greek Seasoning is readily available at almost any supermarket. Look for it in the spice section. I like using fresh herbs and creating my own spice blends too, but, if you like Greek dishes, this is one store bought product that you will really appreciate having on hand. I was able to pick up some Greek Spice at a local Mediterranean Market- - but I honestly think it was the Cavendar's blend, only in bulk, then re-packaged.

Great potatoes!!

Loved this recipe! Great flavour and nice change to regular roast potatoes. I forgot to add the honey and lemon juice but they turned out great without them!!

Greek Seasoning

Another disadvantage of ingredients such as 'Greek Seasoning' is that these things tend to be very local. I have no idea what Greek seasoning is, or what the equivalent might be here in Europe (ironic since it's so much closer to Greece...).

Greek seasoning

From what I can gather, Greek seasoning is basically a mixture of my most common dried spices/herbs: salt, pepper, oregano, parsley, cinnamon, nutmeg, onion & garlic powder.

I've made a little tub of it and throw on potatoes, pasta salads, etc.

Ras el Hanout

I once had a rack of lamb with ras el hanout and tomato preserve on a tasting menu. It was the most memorable dish I've ever had. I can still remember the taste over a year later. The tomato preserve was excellent and I think had some of the spice mixture in it. I could definitely taste the cinnamon. I would not complain if you guys attempted to re-create it. ;p
