Ingredients

6 Yukon gold potatoes, quartered lengthwise

Zest of 1 lemon plus 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice plus lemon wedges, for serving 

1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving 

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 

6 cloves garlic, smashed 

6 sprigs fresh oregano

Kosher salt and finely ground black pepper

Sea salt, for serving 

Directions

  1. Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  2. Place the potatoes in a cast-iron pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, mustard, garlic, oregano, a pinch of salt, some black pepper and 2 cups water. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and toss to combine. Turn the potatoes so they are cut-side down in the pan.
  3. Place the pan on the indirect-heat side of the grill, then close the lid and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve with a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Cook’s Note

If making this to go along with Mom's Chicken, char the chicken on all sides, then place it on top of the potatoes. Close the lid of the grill and bake on the indirect-heat side of the grill until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve with a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Oven Method: Bake at 450 degrees F, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes.

Made this with Chef Symon's Mom's Chicken. Way too much liquid for the potatoes. I cooked at 400 for about 50 minutes. The cooking time and temp here are different than those on the Mom's Chicken recipe and the Greek Like Me episode has yet even different cooking time and temp. It still came out good but the potatoes didn't have the concentrated flavor I was expecting if the liquid had reduced. I will make it again and adjust the liquid.
