Bonnies Lemon Pepper Potatoes Recipes

ROASTED LEMON PEPPER POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
• Trim off long edges of the russet potatoes so that they can lay flat. Cut in half lengthwise and rinse in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Pat dry on paper towels. Season generously with black pepper, cayenne, and salt.
• Coat the bottom of a large baking dish with olive oil. Lay potatoes seasoned-sides down in the dish. Brush tops with more olive oil; season with pepper, cayenne, and salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and carefully flip potatoes over. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine broth with lemon zest and juice. Pour mixture over the potatoes. Scrape zest off the tops of the potatoes and back into the broth. Stick oregano sprigs between the potatoes. Season with pepper. Shake the dish lightly to slosh the sauce back and forth.
• Return potatoes to the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Flip again; continue roasting until very soft and creamy on the inside and crusty on the outside, 10 to 15 minutes more. Flip over once more to serve. Drizzle more olive oil on top; sprinkle with pepper and more oregano.

GRILLED LEMON-PEPPER POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice 1 1/2 pounds red potatoes 1/2 inch thick; toss with olive oil and lemon-pepper seasoning. Place on a sheet of heavy-duty foil; fold into a packet and crimp to seal. Grill over high heat, flipping once, 15 minutes; season with salt. Mix 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, some chopped chives, a pinch of sugar, and salt and pepper to taste; serve on the side for dipping.

BOBBY FLAY'S LEMON POTATOES

Steps:

• For the Meyer lemon vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice and mustard until combined. Slowly add olive oil, whisking until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in parsley and oregano; set aside.
• For the potatoes: Put potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water by 2 inches and add 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to simmer, cover and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well, return potatoes to the pan and put back over low heat, stirring a few times, to dry well.
• Add crème fraîche, lemon zest, parsley, oregano and chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently crush with a potato masher until combined. If desired, potatoes may be covered and kept in a warm oven for up to 30 minutes. To serve, transfer to a bowl and drizzle with Meyer lemon vinaigrette while still hot.

GREEK LEMON CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a large roasting pan.
• Place chicken and potatoes in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dried oregano, salt, rosemary, black pepper, and cayenne. Toss until chicken and potatoes are evenly coated.
• Place chicken pieces skin-side up in the prepared pan. Tuck potato pieces around chicken. Drizzle with 2/3 cup chicken broth. Spoon any remaining marinade from the bowl over chicken and potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Toss chicken and potatoes, then place chicken skin-side up again.
• Continue baking until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes more; an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Transfer chicken to a serving platter and keep warm; leave potatoes in the pan.
• Turn on the broiler, or set oven to highest heat. Toss potatoes again to coat in pan juices. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until potatoes are crisped, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer potatoes to the platter with chicken.
• Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/3 cup chicken broth and scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain pan juices over chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle with fresh oregano.

BONNIE'S LEMON PEPPER POTATOES

Steps:

• PREPARE THE POTATOES: Wash the potatoes and cut away any unsightly blemishes or eyes but leave some of the red skin on the potatoes. Cut the potatoes in half. Place the cleaned potatoes in a pan with a tight fitting lid, cover with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring to a boil, and cook potatoes until tender when tested with a fork. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Keep them hot while you make the lemon pepper butter.
• MAKE THE LEMON PEPPER BUTTER: Place the hot pan you used to boil the potatoes in back on the burner on medium low heat. Add the butter, lemon pepper, garlic, lemon juice. Mix well, get it hot and then add the potatoes to the pan carefully, turning them over very gently to coat with the lemon pepper butter. Season with the salt and pepper, and add the green onions, turn one more time and serve. Enjoy!
• Cook's Tip: This dish comes together very fast as soon as the potatoes are drained. You can buy yourself some time by leaving the potatoes in the hot water until you are almost ready to serve. Then drain and add potatoes to the butter as directed below.
