Amazing Flavor. These Greek lemon potatoes are roasted in a bath of chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic and Oregano. All the liquid is absorbed into the potatoes for incredible flavor and tender texture.

Ingredients Needed

• Red Potatoes. You can also use Yukon Gold Potatoes
• Chicken Broth. You can also use vegetable broth.
• Fresh Lemon Juice
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Dried Oregano
• Black Pepper
• Minced Garlic Cloves
• Fresh Parsley

How To Make Greek Lemon Potatoes

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
• Cut potatoes in half or into quarters depending on size of potatoes. You want them bite size.

• Place cut potatoes in 9 x 13 pan (foil pan recommended)
• Mix together chicken broth, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, pepper and garlic.

• Pour mixture over potatoes. There will be a lot of liquid but don’t worry, it will all absorb.

• Bake uncovered at 450 degrees F for 1.5 hours, stirring every 20 minutes as they bake.

• Add more liquid if needed the last 20 minutes.( I didn’t have to)
• Liquid will evaporate the final 20 minutes or so. If liquid evaporates sooner add in some additional chicken broth but all the liquid should be absorbed by the end of the baking period. Potatoes will be fork tender.

Equipment

• Baking Dish (9×13)

Ingredients

• 3 lb. red potatoes cut in half or quartered depending on size
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 4 tsp minced garlic
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
• Cut potatoes in half or in quarters, depending on size.
• Place cubed potatoes in 9 x 13 pan (foil pan recommended)
• In a bowl, mix together chicken broth, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, pepper and garlic.
• Pour liquid over potatoes.
• Bake uncovered for 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 hours stirring every 20 minutes as they bake.
• Add more liquid if needed ( I didn’t have to)
• Liquid will evaporate the final 20 minutes or so.
• Be sure to stir so they don’t burn.
• Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

1. I cooked my Greek lemon potatoes in a ceramic 9 x 13 pam but I highly recommend using a disposable aluminum foil pan because your dish ends up getting pretty dark and black!  Clean up is much easier when you can just throw the pan away.
2. The potatoes bake for about 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 hours so plan ahead. They also need to be stirred every 20 minutes so plan on being around as they bake.  
3. All the liquid should be absorbed by the last 20 minutes of baking time. It is gone before that, add in some additional chicken broth.

Notes

This recipe works well in the Instant Pot. Use the saute feature to braise the meat. The Instant Pot needs at least 1 cup of liquid so add in 1/2 cup of beef broth. Use the manual high pressure function and set it to high. Cook the short ribs for 45 minutes, do a 10 minute natural release.

Instead of short ribs you can also use chuck roast cut into 2 inch pieces.

• Flour. I use unbleached all purpose flour.
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Vanilla Extract

Notes

1. To make this dairy free, substitute in your favorite non dairy milk and use a mild flavor oil instead of butter.
2. To make it gluten free, use your favorite cup for cup gluten free flour and then allow batter to sit for 20 minutes or so before baking to help prevent grittiness.
3. Don’t overmix your batter. Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated. Overmixing causes too much gluten to build up and will make your mug coffee cake tough.
4. It’s o.k. if your coffee cake sinks a bit in the middle, it is just from the weight of the streusel topping and just makes it more gooey and delicious!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I am a non-potato eating girl married to an Idaho Boy, grandson of a potato farmer.  That can be a bit of a problem some times.  Over the years though I have worked hard to try to learn to enjoy some potatoes.  I have learned that I can handle small and crisp potatoes.  So I tend to cut up my potatoes small and cook them for a long time!

Perfect Side Dish. This recipe for crispy Parmesan potatoes fits my potato criteria pretty well.  Small, crisp and covered in Parmesan cheese.  I cut the potatoes into a nice small cube size but you can make them any size you want.

Ingredients Needed

• Potatoes, for this recipe I used a firm russet potatoes but I often will use a red potato.  Yukon gold potatoes also work but they are a little softer potato.
• Parmesan Cheese, finely grated. I use the store bought finely grated Parmesan cheese rather than grating it myself, it gives it a crisper finish.
• All Purpose Flour
• Salt and Pepper
• Butter, salted
• Parsley, dried or fresh parsley for garnish

How to Make Roasted Parmesan Potatoes

• Cut up the potatoes into bite size pieces or potato wedges, about 3/4 of inch in size.
• Combine cheese, flour, salt and pepper in a bag or bowl. 
• Add the potatoes and shake or toss to coat potatoes.

• Drizzle melted butter on the baking sheet
• Place potatoes in a single layer on the pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for until potatoes are crispy on the edges and golden brown, about one hour, turnin them every 15 minutes to make sure they are evenly golden brown.

The perfect amount. No need to worry about lots of leftovers, this recipe for easy monkey bread is the perfect amount for one person. Of course you can double or triple it if you need to feed a few more people.

Quick and easy. Thanks to using store bought biscuits and the air fryer you can have this treat ready in under 15 minutes!

Ingredients for Single Serve Monkey Bread

Butter, salted

Sugar. You’ll need granulated sugar, brown sugar and powdered sugar if you are adding a glaze.

Ground Cinnamon

Biscuit. I use Pillsbury Grands Flaky, Original refrigerated biscuits. You only need one biscuit for this recipe. You can freeze the remaining biscuits and just take one out of the freezer next time a monkey bread craving hits.

Milk (if making glaze) but you also use water. Use 2 %, skim milk or whatever you have on hand.

How to Make Single Serve Monkey Bread

• Cut one biscuit into eight pieces. Cut in half, cut each half in half and then again cut each of the four pieces in half. Roll each piece of biscuit dough into a ball.

• In a bowl combine 1 Tbsp granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Stir to combine.
• Add in biscuit pieces and toss to coat with sugar mixture.
• Spray a 6 oz. ramekin with non stick cooking spray.

• Add in dough balls. You can sprinkle in any remaining cinnamon sugar mixture if you like, or leave it out.
• In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp of melted butter and 1 tsp of brown sugar.
• Pour mixture over biscuit pieces.

• Place ramekin in air fryer on the air fryer setting at 330 degrees F for 7 minutes. To bake in the oven, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 20 minutes or until dough is cooked through.

• Remove from the air fryer ad cool for a few minutes.
• While cooling mix up the glaze if you are adding. Combine 2-3 Tbsp of powdered sugar with just enough milk or water to make a nice drizzling consistency. Start with just a small amount and add more as needed.

Notes

1. I like to line my air fryer with a paper liner in case anything bubbles over or spills. Makes clean up much easier.
2. When I freeze the leftover biscuits, I lay them out on a cookie sheet and flash freeze them until frozen solid. Then I put them into a zippered freezer bag and I can remove them one at a time as needed.
3. If you don’t want to use store bought biscuits you could make your own biscuits. Use this recipe for small batch biscuits.
