I'm in a hurry. Can I pre-cook the potatoes in the microwave to get a head start?

Yes and no. You can start the potatoes in the microwave to the shorten the time. I did this many times when I was in a rush after working all day. Put all ingredients in a microwave-safe dish and cook at medium power for 10-15 minutes, stirring often. Then, bake as directing in the recipe for 1 hr and 15 minutes.

Can I use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock in Greek potatoes?

Yes, you may substitute an equal amount of vegetable stock for the chicken stock in your recipe.

How do you reheat Greek potatoes?

Reheat in 350°F oven for 15 minutes.
