👨🍳 Cooking Instructions
Full recipe instructions for preparing Greek Lemon Potatoes
🔥 Prep
- Wash and scrub the 1 kg potatoes, then cut into wedges or bite‑sized cubes (about 2‑inch pieces).
- Peel and mince the 4 cloves of garlic.
- Measure out 0.5 cup olive oil, 0.5 cup lemon juice, 2 tsp dried oregano, and 1 cup vegetable broth; set aside.
- (Optional) Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
🔥 Cook
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2. In a large bowl, combine the potato pieces, measured olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, vegetable broth, and a pinch of salt and pepper; toss until evenly coated.
- 3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
- 4. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the sheet, stir the potatoes to promote even browning, and return to the oven.
- 5. Continue roasting for another 20‑25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden‑brown and crisp on the edges and tender inside.
- 6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes before serving.
🔥 Serve
- Transfer the roasted lemon potatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with a little extra oregano and fresh lemon wedges for garnish.
- Serve hot as a side alongside grilled chicken, lamb souvlaki, or fish.
- Pair with a simple Greek salad, tzatziki, or warm pita bread.
