Greek Style Lemon Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe starts by quartering or halving potatoes and roasting them in a bath of olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. The broth mixture keeps the potatoes moist during roasting and allows the flavors to penetrate deeply.
The potatoes roast for a total of 90 minutes in a 400°F oven, stirred halfway through to promote even cooking and browning. This slow roast yields tender, flavorful potatoes with subtle garlic and oregano nuances accented by the brightness of lemon juice. The chicken broth adds depth and savory balance.
Greek Style Lemon Roasted Potatoes are a versatile side that pairs well with grilled meats or fish. They bring a comforting texture and lively flavor to the table enhanced by Mediterranean staples.
Approximately 2.5 pounds of potatoes serve about six people. Leftovers store well in airtight containers for up to four days and reheat quickly in the microwave.
