Lemon Scented Potatoes Recipes

GREEK-STYLE LEMON ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Put potato wedges into a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the wedges and toss to coat. Season potatoes with salt, oregano, and black pepper; toss again to coat.
• Spread potato wedges in a single layer in a 2 inch-deep pan. Pour chicken broth over the potatoes.
• Roast potatoes in preheated oven until tender and golden brown, about 1 hour.

LEMON-SCENTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut potatoes in half, then cut each half into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Pour oil into large nonstick skillet, and place over medium heat. When oil is hot, add cinnamon stick and cumin; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
• Add the potatoes, and season with salt and pepper; raise heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown on both sides, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and chicken stock, add salt and pepper to taste, cover, and reduce heat to medium low. Cook the potatoes until very tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Toss in the cilantro, and transfer to a serving dish.

LEMON-SCENTED CRISPY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH POTATOES AND BABY CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the cubed baguette on a sheet tray and bake 10 minutes to dry out. Reserve. Add the potatoes to a pot of simmering water and simmer until you just take the bite off, 10 minutes (we will cook these again in the skillet). Remove and reserve. Turn up the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Heat a 14-inch heavy-bottomed skillet on high and coat with canola oil. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken skin-side down, working in batches if needed, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet, reserving all of the fat in the pan. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and sweat until translucent and softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the baguette cubes, reserved potatoes and carrots, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the lemon wedges and lemon thyme. Toss all the ingredients in the fat with an additional glug of oil if needed. Arrange the thighs on top and place in the oven until the thighs reach 160 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.

LEMON SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan with the cream and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then add 1 teaspoon of salt. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove about 2 cups of the liquid and reserve. Add the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Use a potato masher to break up the potatoes while adding about 1 cup of the reserved liquid, to just 'wet' the potatoes. Add more, for desired creaminess. Spoon the potatoes into a serving bowl and serve immediately.

GREEK LEMON POTATOES

Steps:

• 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.

LEMON FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with water in a pan. Add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and halve lengthwise.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic, and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes, cut sides down, and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in stock, wine, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until liquid is reduced by a third, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Add thyme and butter, and stir until butter has melted. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

LEMON-SCENTED FISH & CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Toss the carrots, potatoes, thyme and lemon slices in a large non-stick shallow roasting tray, with oil and seasoning. Cook for 25 mins, shaking the pan once or twice.
• Put the broccoli in a pan of boiling water and cook for about 5 mins or until tender. Stir through the peas and spinach. When all the spinach has wilted and the peas are tender, drain thoroughly. Blitz in a food processor to a smooth purée. Stir through the crème fraîche, a pinch of the lemon zest and some seasoning.
• Lay the fish on top of the roasted roots and cook for 15 mins or so more, until the fish is just cooked through. Make sure green veg purée is still hot and serve alongside the fish and roots.

PURéED POTATOES WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2- to 2-inch chunks. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 tablespoons salt, cover and bring to a boil over high.
• Uncover, lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a small paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and put it back in the refrigerator.
• After the potatoes are drained, pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over low just until it simmers. Turn off the heat.
• Place a food mill fitted with the finest blade on top of the large saucepan. Process the potatoes into the pan. (Alternately, use a ricer or potato masher, making sure the potatoes are very smooth before proceeding.)
• With the heat on low, vigorously whisk the cold butter into the potatoes several bits at a time, waiting for each addition to be incorporated before adding more butter.
• Once all the butter has been integrated, slowly whisk in enough of the hot milk to make the potatoes the desired consistency, creamy but still thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in the lemon zest, reserving some for garnish, if desired. Season to taste, and serve hot. Sprinkle with reserved lemon zest just before serving.
