GREEK-STYLE LEMONY ROASTED POTATOES


 Inspired by the flavors of the classic Greek dish of lemon potatoes, we bring you our version made with Preserved Lemon BBQ Sauce and lots of fresh herbs. It’s delicious alongside roasted or grilled lamb, chicken or fish.

 

Serves 4-6


3 pounds russet potatoes (about 7 medium potatoes)

1 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

5 garlic cloves, peeled and halved lengthwise

½ cup New York Shuk Preserved Lemon BBQ Sauce

¼ cup water

¼ bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

¼ bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Preheat the oven to 475°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut each potato lengthwise into thirds, then cut each piece lengthwise into thirds for a total of 9 wedges per potato. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt, drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes in a single layer. 

Roast, turning the potatoes once halfway through, until they are soft and lightly golden, 30-40 minutes. Let cool slightly so you can handle the potatoes.

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic and heat, stirring, until fragrant. Add the Preserved Lemon BBQ Sauce and water, increase the heat to medium and bring to a simmer.

Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the sauce mixture, parsley and cilantro and toss to combine.
