Description
These Authentic Greek Potatoes are roasted to golden perfection in a garlicky lemon and olive oil broth that infuses every bite with bold Mediterranean flavor. The outside turns crisp and caramelized while the inside stays tender and creamy. This is a rustic, comforting dish that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, fish, or vegetarian mains.
Ingredients
2.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup vegetable broth
1.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and scrub potatoes. Halve or quarter them into even-sized pieces.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, broth, oregano, salt, and pepper.
4. Toss the potatoes in the marinade until fully coated. Let them sit for 10 minutes.
5. Transfer potatoes and all the liquid to a baking dish, cut side down.
6. Roast uncovered for 40 minutes.
7. Flip the potatoes, baste with pan juices, and roast for another 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Serve with grilled lamb, chicken souvlaki, or spanakopita for a full Greek meal. Reheat leftovers in the oven to restore crispness.
