Ingredients and Variations
Potatoes: Any potatoes on hand will do, but if you’re shopping for fresh, consider these variations:
- Russets: Peel before using, or leave some peels on for a more rustic look and extra texture.
- Yukon Gold: No need to peel these buttery-flavored spuds. Yukon Golds are excellent choices for lemon garlic potatoes.
- New Potatoes: (aka baby potatoes, or spring potatoes) Tender with a thin skin that doesn’t need peeling.
- Red Potatoes: Mildly sweet with red skins, reds don’t need to be peeled and due to their color, offer a lot of visual interest to dishes.
- Fingerlings: No need to peel, fingerlings come in a variety of colors and have a buttery, nutty flavor and creamy flesh.
Seasonings: Lots of garlic, a splash of lemon and some oregano are all it takes to infuse Greek flavor into this dish! Other seasonings to try are rosemary, dill, or cumin.
