Mediterranean Skewered Potatoes Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large deep baking dish.
• In a medium bowl or a jar, mix together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, vegetable broth, sliced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried parsley, dried rosemary, and paprika powder. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
• Lay your potato wedges into the prepared baking dish the skin side down. Try not to overlap them too much.
• Pour the liquid over the potatoes, making sure to distribute the garlic evenly if you can.
• Cover with foil or a lid and cook covered for 40 mins.
• Raise the temperature to 425°F (220°C) and uncover the potatoes. There should still be a lot of liquid there, that's good, it's going to cook down into a thick sauce. Cook for another 30-40 minutes. Toss gently 2-3 times throughout so they crisp up on all sides and don't dry out.
• Toss again and serve immediately drizzled with the sauce that's left in the baking dish. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon slices if desired.

MEDITERRANEAN HANGER STEAK AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine zaatar, oregano, cumin and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil until a thick paste forms. Rub the steaks with the spice mixture and let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Season water generously with salt and bring to a low boil over medium heat. Let cook until the potatoes are slightly tender but not cooked through entirely, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, and once cool enough to handle, thread 4 or 5 potatoes on each of 5 metal skewers.
• Whisk together white wine vinegar, miso and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl. Add parsley, dill and capers. Add tomatoes, cucumber and olives and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and set aside.
• Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks to desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over potatoes and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Grill until skin is crispy and potatoes are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Slice steaks 1 1/2-inch thick and top with salad. Sprinkle with feta and serve with grilled potatoes.

MEDITERRANEAN SKEWERED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your grill, set to medium heat. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Cut the baby potatoes in half and place into the bowl with the oil mixture. Toss the potatoes to competely coat.
• 2. If using the rosemary branches, be sure to use the woodier ones, as you'll need them to be thick and strong enough to use as a skewer. Strip most of the leaves from the stems, leaving about an inch at the top. Use a metal skewer to poke "pilot" holes through each potato half, then carefully thread the potatoes onto the rosemary skewers. If using metal skewers, simply thread the potatoes onto the skewers. If using bamboo skewers, make sure to soak them for about 20 minutes beforehand, so they don't burn.
• 3. Grill the potato skewers unti the skins starts to get crispy and golden brown. This will take about 30 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes. Keep an eye on them!
• 4. To serve, pour about 1/3 of a cup of good quality olive oil on a serving platter. You just want enough to make a thin layer on the plate. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Then drizzle some warmed balsamic reduction over the oil. Put the potato skewers on the platter and turn them to give them a nice coating of the oil/reduction. Serve immediately.
