Description
Greek Potatoes are a classic Mediterranean side dish made with lemon, garlic, oregano, and olive oil, roasted to perfection for crispy edges and a soft, creamy interior. They’re a flavorful, versatile, and crowd-pleasing addition to any meal.
Ingredients
2 ½ lbs baking potatoes, peeled and cut into eighths
1 ½ cups chicken broth
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp dried oregano (or 2–3 tbsp fresh oregano)
1 tsp salt
Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Sprinkle of paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel potatoes and cut them into thick wedges. Rinse well and drain.
- In a 13×9-inch baking dish, mix chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Add potatoes to the dish and stir to coat with the mixture.
- Bake uncovered for 1 ½ hours, testing with a fork for tenderness. If needed, cook for an additional 15 minutes.
- Let the dish sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
- Try adding thyme, rosemary, or basil for a different flavor profile.
- Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes or chili powder for a spicy twist.
- To prevent soggy potatoes, roast uncovered and stir occasionally.
- For extra lemon flavor, add some lemon zest before baking.
