Mediterranean Skewered Potatoes Recipes

SKEWERED GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes and water in a microwave safe bowl. Cook potatoes in microwave on high until just tender, about 15 minutes, stirring half-way through. Drain potatoes and allow to steam for a few minutes to dry.
• In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, wine, rosemary, and garlic powder. Mix in drained potatoes and toss to coat. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Remove potatoes from marinade, and skewer. Grill, covered, for 6 to 8 minutes, brushing occasionally with marinade, turning half-way through. Remove potatoes from skewers and serve hot.

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 STEAK AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Put the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and microwave, turning the potatoes halfway through, until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, thyme, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons water.
• Slice the potatoes and tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Gently toss together in a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place in overlapping layers on top of the onion (it doesn't have to be neat). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the potatoes are soft and the tomatoes are wrinkled and dry, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest, 5 minutes.
• Finely chop the olives and parsley; toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the vinegar, orange zest and a pinch of salt. Slice the steak against the grain and divide among plates; top with the olive-parsley relish and serve with the roasted vegetables.

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.
