Description

Greek Lemon Potatoes are oven-roasted to crispy perfection with garlic, oregano, and fresh lemon juice. They’re a flavorful side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or a Mediterranean spread.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2.5 lbs (about 1.1 kg) Yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the potato wedges in a large baking dish or sheet pan in a single layer.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly over the potatoes and toss to coat.
  5. Pour the broth around the potatoes (not directly over them).
  6. Roast uncovered for 40 minutes. Flip the potatoes, then roast for another 20–30 minutes or until golden and crispy, and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Use waxy potatoes like Yukon gold for the best texture.
  • Don’t skip the broth—it helps infuse flavor and moisture.
  • Leftovers reheat well in the oven or air fryer.
