    WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

    • You'll love this delicious side dish for its simplicity and bold flavors. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or want to elevate your weeknight meal, Easy Lemon Garlic Roasted Greek Potatoes will surely be a crowd-pleaser.
    • You'll love the citrusy tang from the lemon and the unmistakable aromatic punch from the garlic.
    • The combination of fresh oregano and dried thyme gives this dish an unmistakable Greek touch, with a hint of earthiness.

    INGREDIENTS

    All of the ingredients to make Easy Lemon Garlic Roasted Greek Potatoes Recipe.

    INGREDIENT NOTES

    • Potatoes - Use what you like, russet potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, red potatoes, new potatoes, baby potatoes, or fingerling potatoes. I used medium-sized Yukon golds for their waxy interior texture. You can peel the larger ones or leave the skin on.
      • The larger potatoes should be cut into 1-inch thick wedges. The smaller ones should be halved or roasted whole. If roasting them whole, when they become soft, remove them from the oven and push down on them to break the skin. This will create a little bit of a crisp edge to get golden brown as they continue roasting.
    • Chicken stock - use chicken broth or vegetable broth or vegetable stock as you like.
    • Fresh herbs - this recipe works best with fresh oregano and fresh parsley. I prefer dried thyme over fresh thyme for this dish but use what you have.
    • Lemon juice - always use fresh lemon juice or lemon juice that you have squeezed and frozen for later use. Fresh lemon juice = tangy lemony potatoes!
    • Garlic - fresh is always best but if all you have is garlic powder use 1 teaspoon in place of the 5 cloves of fresh garlic.
      • One of my favorite shortcuts and the secret ingredient in this recipe is using frozen garlic, available in little cubes, each equaling one clove of garlic. Saves so much prep time!

    PRO TIPS

    Garnishing the roasted golden brown potatoes with fresh chopped parsley or oregano adds a touch of brightness and visual appeal. Sprinkling a little Feta cheese crumbles just before serving will take this dish to the next level!

    RECIPE FAQ'S

      Yum! The addition of garlic and lemon takes a roasted potatoes dish to a new level. The potatoes were nice and crispy (just the way I like them) and the seasonings worked well. I made a double batch and the dish scaled nicely.
