Potatoes are really good, but I need to work on them a bit. Perhaps just a single layer next time so they cook evenly?

The SOW soaked pork loin rocked.

I am going to have to try that potato recipe. It looks interesting. I can almost taste the lemons.

Under the foil you can cover with plastic wrap first, that keeps the moisture in, then foil. Was the flavor ok for you? I go to Mykonos just for the potatoes and the cute Greek guy. I have also cut the potatoes in 8ths too and zest the lemons also. You can nuke them some before cooking Greek style. That would cut down on cooking time, and they do take time, but so worth it. They look real good and the pork looks real juicy. Pour any left over juice on pork too after basting the potatoes for the last time. Pam ★*˚°。°

Post by: squirtthecat on January 16, 2012, 08:47:14 AM: Thanks Pam. I was trying to figure out how this is supposed to be assembled. It had a great flavor, definitely Mediterranean..
Next time I'll do a single layer of spuds so they all go in the EVOO/Chicken Broth hot tub.

What is the target consistency? I need to find a 'plated' picture of these things..

Didya notice the Meyer Lemons? I stumbled across them at the store... Pricey little suckers, but amazing flavor.

Squirt..they are suppose to be tender and done..so nuking before really makes sense..I did notice the Meyer lemons..ours finally showed up here a few days ago, and don't they taste good. I have done several layers but I did them in a glass 9x13 Pyrex pan. The glass conducts heat differently and better than the flimsy aluminum pans. Personal opinion tho. They can survive the grill too. I just keep adding broth to cover and don't forget the olive oil. They cook and it reduces the broth and increases the flavors. I like that. Yor picture looked just like the Greek potatoes in the restaurant, so your right on there. Mykonos just serves them on a seperate lil round plate. Enjoy. Pam ★*˚°。°

First..don't hurt yourself...steam table pans work great for this too. Mykonos uses the deep steam table pans. But use what you have and enjoy. Pam ★*˚°。°
