Description

Greek-style roasted potatoes, crispy on the outside and tender inside, flavored with lemon, garlic, olive oil, and oregano. A bright and savory side dish for Mediterranean meals.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Lemon slices, for roasting and garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss potato wedges with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Add a few lemon slices for extra flavor.
  4. Roast for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are golden brown and tender.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with roasted lemon slices and a sprinkle of extra oregano if desired.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier interior, or Russet for crispier edges.
  • Pair with tzatziki or grilled meats for a complete meal.
  • Add a splash of chicken broth to the pan before roasting for extra moisture and flavor.
