Ingredients
Instructions
- Saute potatoes and onions in olive oil until golden and tender, not brown.
- Discard excess oil from the skillet.
- Add chopped parsley, salt, and diced or canned tomatoes to the skillet.
- Cover and cook over low heat until potatoes are tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using Yukon Gold potatoes for their creaminess or adding garlic while sautéing the onions. If fresh tomatoes are out of season, using canned tomatoes is a great substitute. For a touch of acidity, a splash of lemon juice can elevate the dish. You can also experiment by adding bell peppers or olives for extra Mediterranean flair.
Serving Suggestions
This Greek-Potato-Tomato Skillet pairs beautifully with a fresh side like Marinated Tomato And Cucumber Salad or a simple green salad. Serve it alongside grilled meats or fish for a complete meal. For a vegetarian option, enjoy it with feta cheese sprinkled on top for a creamy contrast. It's also perfect for brunch alongside poached eggs.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. You can also microwave in short intervals, covered, to retain moisture. If the potatoes seem dry, add a splash of water or olive oil while reheating.
