Greek Lemon Potatoes Recipe
Description
This Greek Lemon Potatoes Recipe features russet potatoes cut into wedges and tossed in a mixture of freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. The lemon and herbs impart a fresh and zesty flavor profile characteristic of Greek cuisine. Optional red pepper flakes add a mild heat contrast if used.
Potatoes are roasted initially at 425°F for a combined 50-60 minutes, tossed halfway through to ensure even browning and crisp edges while maintaining tender centers. An optional broil step after drizzling with additional olive oil deepens color and texture for a more crispy finish.
Sprinkled with minced parsley before serving, these potatoes complement grilled meats, seafood, or can be enjoyed as a bright side for everyday meals. The lemon juice provides acidity that helps keep the potatoes flavorful and aromatic throughout serving.
Potato wedges can be cut smaller for faster cooking. If your baking dish cannot be broiled, transfer potatoes to a sheet pan for the broiling step without compromising results.
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potato cut into wedges (see notes
- ¾ cup lemon juice from 3 lemons, fresh
- ¼ cup olive oil divided, 2 tablespoons
- 2 teaspoons salt sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper each
- 1 teaspoon oregano each
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- red pepper flakes optional, a pinch
- ¼ cup parsley minced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Place the potatoes, lemon juice, ¼ cup of the olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, and red pepper flakes to a large baking dish and toss to coat.
- Roast the potatoes for 30 mintues then toss and roast them again for another 20-30 minutes, or until the pan is dry and the potatoes have started to brown. For extra color on the potatoes, drizzle them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil then broil for 5-7 mintues. (see notes)
- Sprinkle the potatoes with the parsley and serve right away.
Notes
- Cut potatoes into quarters or smaller wedges for quicker roasting.
- If your baking dish isn’t suitable for broiling, transfer potatoes to a sheet pan and broil to add color and crispiness.
