Greek Lemon Potatoes

Print Recipe

Greek lemon potatoes are a flavorful and aromatic side dish, roasted until crispy on the outside and tender inside, infused with lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and olive oil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the potato wedges in a large baking dish or roasting pan.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, broth, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer.
  6. Roast for 40 minutes, then turn the potatoes to coat with the pan juices.
  7. Continue roasting for another 30–40 minutes, or until potatoes are golden and slightly crispy, and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use waxy potatoes for creamier texture.
  • For extra crispiness, broil for the last 5 minutes.
  • Vegetable broth can replace chicken broth for a vegetarian version.
