A side dish that almost becomes the main event

As an international melting pot, there have so been many cuisines introduced to Australia that I’m calling it one of the best places to be a foodie.

Hearty Greek fare is no exception here, and these Greek Lemon Potatoes are the perfect, zesty side to a chuck of slow cooked garlic lamb.

Below, I just placed a lamb shoulder in the slow cooker with an abundance of herbs and garlic. Once it was done, I then plonked it in the middle of the potatoes for their last 15 minutes in the oven so everything crispened up beautifully.

Greek Lemon Roasted Potatoes

Serves 4 as a side

Ingredients:

1.5 kg potatoes, chopped

2 lemons, juiced plus optional zest of 1 of these lemons

generous glug of olive oil

2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

2 tsp chopped fresh herbs (rosemary and oregano work beautifully)

1/2 cup chicken stock

Method:

Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).

In a large bowl, place the diced potato and drizzle with lots of olive oil, as well as the lemon juice, salt and pepper, fresh herbs and lemon zest (if using). Coat the potatoes well in this incredible mixture of amazingness.

Spread the potato in a single layer in a deep oven pan and pour the chicken broth over the potatoes. The potatoes soak up the stock flavours and become incredibly moreish.

Roast for 1hr 15mins, or until the potatoes are golden brown and no one can resist the delicious smell coming out of your oven any longer.
