Lemony Broiled Potatoes with Halloumi Cheese
Browned on top, creamy on bottom, and bright with lemon, these broiled potatoes topped off with melty halloumi cheese combine the best of roast potatoes and gratin.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick
- Kosher or sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, from about 1 lemon, plus zest of 1 lemon
- 8 ounces halloumi cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
Directions
- Preheat broiler and set top oven rack about 6 inches from broiler element. Add olive oil to a 12-inch cast iron skillet and spread evenly all over.
- Add potatoes, shingling the slices around the pan in a single circular layer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Broil until the potatoes have puffed up slightly, mostly cooked through, and browned on top, about 7 minutes.

- Sprinkle oregano on top and serve.
