GREECE
Special Equipment: 1 cup wood chips, soaked for 1 hour in cold water to cover and drained
These potatoes are a traditional accompaniment to Greek spit-roasted lamb. Lemon is one of the dominating flavors, and although North Americans don’t usually associate it with potatoes, I must say it adds a whole new dimension. For extra richness, stir a few tablespoons of butter into the potatoes at the end.
3 pounds red potatoes, small, scrubbed and cut in half
1/4 cup olive oil, extra-virgin
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon oregano, dried
Salt, coarse (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 lemon, cut in half
2 tablespoons butter, unsalted (optional)
2 tablespoons dill weed, chopped fresh
1. Set up the grill for indirect cooking. If using a charcoal grill, preheat to medium.
If using a gas grill, place the wood chips in the smoker box and preheat to high. When smoke appears, turn the heat down to medium.
2. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan and toss with the oil, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, salt, and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over the potatoes, then place the rind halves on top.
3. When ready to cook, if using a charcoal grill, toss the wood chips on the coals. Set the roasting pan in the center of the grill. Cook the potatoes, with the grill covered, until browned and tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours, stirring from time to time to ensure even cooking. Stir in the butter (if using) and dill the last 10 minutes of cooking.
4. To serve, remove and discard the lemon rinds and bay leaves. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper, and serve.
