Patates Lemonates (Greek Lemon Potatoes)

[elleng]

(Posting 'cause sounds kind of interesting, but too complex for me actually to prepare!)

Ingredients
1/2 cup (120ml) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 1/2 pounds (1.2kg) Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt
2 medium garlic cloves (10g), lightly crushed
3/4 cup (180ml) homemade chicken stock or low-sodium store-bought chicken broth, or water
1/4 cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice from about 3 lemons, divided
2 teaspoons dried oregano

Directions
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a 12-inch stainless steel straight-sided sauté pan or skillet, or cast iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil medium-high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes to skillet, with one cut side down, in a single layer and evenly spaced, and season with salt. Cook, without moving, until potatoes begin to brown around edges, 4 to 5 minutes. Continue to cook, rotating and swirling pan gently to promote even browning and prevent sticking, until potatoes are browned on bottom side, 2 to 3 minutes longer, adjusting heat as needed if some of the pieces brown too quickly.

Using a thin metal spatula, flip potatoes onto second flat side. Continue to cook until browned on second side, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add remaining olive oil, chicken stock (or water), 3 tablespoons (45ml) lemon juice, and oregano. Bring to a boil, swirling pan occasionally, and season with salt to taste.

Transfer skillet to oven and roast until potatoes are completely tender, offering little to no resistance when poked with a paring knife, and most of the stock has evaporated, 25 to 30 minutes.

Remove from oven, add remaining 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice, and stir to combine. Season with salt to taste, then serve.

2. Yum. That does sound good.

But we have a couple good Greek restaurants in the area. Much easier!

3. The lemon tree is going crazy again

and is trying to repopulate (or relemonate) the world, so I'm up for any recipe that uses lemons!
