Ingredients
Crispy Greek Lemon Potatoes
- 1.3 kg potatoes see notes
- 250 g chicken stock 1 cup
- 40 g olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1-2 garlic clove finely minced
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 40 g salted butter cut into cubes
Instructions
Crispy Greek Lemon Potatoes
- Preheat a fan-forced oven to 180C / 355F (200C / 390F for no fan). For best results, use a metal baking tray with deep sides. Metal baking trays will give you crispier potatoes. I used a half-sheet baking tray.
- Preparing potatoes - Peel your potatoes, and then slice them into wedges. Place onto your baking tray.
- To prepare flavoring - To a large jug, add the chicken stock, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Pour it over the potatoes and toss to coat them in the juices. Scatter the little cubes of butter around the baking tray over the potatoes.
- To bake - Bake for 30 minutes, then take out of the oven and flip the potatoes over using tongs and bake for a further 30 minutes. Bake for a further 30 minutes for a more golden color. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Potatoes - I used Desiree potatoes. Red potatoes, Yukon Golden and Maris Piper will also work. They’ll give you a creamy and fluffy center and crisp outside. Try to use potatoes that are the same size and cut into evenly sized potatoes.
Storage - Baked lemon potatoes can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
