What are the ingredients I need for Greek Lemon Potatoes?
Potatoes – I used red potatoes. But most potatoes will work for this recipe. Even sweet potatoes, although they wouldn’t be as crispy. But they would be sweeter.
Chicken stock – make sure you use a good quality stock. Vegetable stock will also work. You could use water instead but stock will give the flavor more depth.
Olive oil – use a good quality olive oil.
Lemon juice – make sure this is freshly squeezed.
Garlic – you don’t have to mince your garlic. You can just roughly chop it. It will cook down as it bakes.
Oregano – use dried oregano. The flavor is stronger and is a characteristic ingredient in Greek cooking – It’s a spice we use a lot.
Salt & Pepper – I used fine salt and freshly ground pepper.
Let’s go through each step.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C / 390° Peel your potatoes.
- Then slice them into half and half again long ways leaving you with wedge shapes.
- Place in a roasting pan along with the chicken stock, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat everything well.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Then take out of the oven and flip the potatoes over
- Bake for a further 30 minutes or until golden. Bake for a further 30 minutes for a more golden color.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
My Top Tips!
- Potatoes – I use red potatoes for this recipe. I found those to be the best option.
- To Re-heat – You can reheat these potatoes in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Bake for a further 30 minutes for a more golden colour
