Simple Greek Home Fries in a Quickness

5.0(8)

We make breakfast for our Saturday staff and students and I was requested to make a large batch of Greek home fries. In a hurry after work on Friday, I decided to experiment. These are now the Saturday potatoes side for the breakfasts at school. I also have to make additional amounts as DH and DS said "not fair" if we do not get any. LOL Enjoy! I reduced amounts for a family of 4-6 not the 30 I need to make for Saturdays. adjust seasonings to taste.

Ingredients (10)

serves

4 medium potatoes (I like red)potato
1 medium onion, chopped smallonion
3 tablespoons olive oilolive-oil
1 garlic clove (diced)garlic
1 teaspoon oreganooregano
1 teaspoon pepperpepper
1 teaspoon basil (I use fresh so chop into small pieces)basil
1 tablespoon lemon juice (I use more to taste as I love the freshness)lemon
3 teaspoons butter or 3 teaspoons margarinemargarine
1/2 teaspoon kosher saltsalt

Instructions (12 steps)

01Wash and pierce potatoes and microwave 10 min (varies depending n power of microwave) until you can push a dent in to potatoes.
02Let cool.
03Slice in quarters then slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
04In the meantime add oil, garlic, pepper, oregano and diced onions in a large fry pan (big enough to hold potatoes).

05Sauté until just cooked, when onions turn translucent (about 3 minutes).

06Once potatoes are cut, add to fry pan, add butter and basil and cook over medium heat, stirring so potatoes can pick up all the juices and flavors.

07Turn to low, cover and let cook for an additional 10 minutes (approx) until potatoes get the crispy brown edges. mmmmm.

08Add lemon juice and mix.

10Note: times are approximately depending on microwave and stove type. I have propane so it cooks hot.

11** Add in more or less spices to your liking. I need to adjust for students. With my family, I add in more garlic and lemon and no salt.

12***Prep and cook times overlap- this is on the table at my home in less than 30 minutes start to finish.
