Thermomix Lemon Potato Traybake
SG
Inspired by Sophie GrigsonMy Thermomix reimagining of their lemon potatoes
A golden Thermomix lemon potato traybake inspired by Sophie Grigson, with oregano, garlic and lemon soaking into crisp-edged potatoes for a generous Mediterranean-style side dish.
These potatoes are all about contrast: fluffy centres, crisp edges and a bright lemony finish. The Thermomix makes the aromatic broth, then the oven turns it into a deeply savoury traybake.
Ingredients
- 🥔1 kg baby potatoes, halved
- 🧄3 garlic cloves
- 🫒60 g extra-virgin olive oil
- 🍋1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 💧250 g vegetable stock
- 🌿2 tsp dried oregano
- 🧂1 tsp fine sea salt
- 🫑1/2 tsp black pepper
- 🌿20 g fresh parsley, chopped
Thermomix method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C oven / no speed. Arrange the halved potatoes cut-side down in a large roasting dish.
- Add the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, stock, oregano, salt and pepper to the mixing bowl, then blend 10 sec / speed 6.
- Pour the lemon stock over the potatoes and roast 35 min / 200°C oven / no speed, until the liquid has reduced by half.
- Turn the potatoes and roast 15 min / 220°C oven / no speed, until golden and crisp at the edges.
- Rest the tray 5 min / 0°C / speed 0, then scatter with parsley and serve with the reduced lemon pan juices.
Aly's tips
- Choose potatoes of a similar size so they finish cooking together.
- For extra crisp edges, avoid crowding the roasting dish.
- Taste the pan juices before serving and add another squeeze of lemon if needed.
Questions
Can I prepare these potatoes ahead?
Prepare the lemon stock and cut the potatoes several hours ahead, then combine and roast just before serving.
Can I use dried lemon zest?
Fresh zest gives the brightest flavour, but a small pinch of dried zest can be used in a pinch.
