Greek-Style Lemon Potatoes
Greek-style lemon potatoes are a delicious and popular Greek side dish made with potatoes that are roasted or baked in a flavorful mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and other herbs and spices. The potatoes turn out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a tangy and savory flavor that pairs perfectly with a variety of main dishes.
Ingredients
- 2½ lbs. Russet potatoes or other starchy potatoes, peeled and cut into thin wedges
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ¾ cup vegetable broth
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoon lemon zest fresh, preferably organic
- ½ tablespoon dried oregano
- oregano fresh, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Directions:
- Place top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 400°F.
- Prep and arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a large cast iron skillet. Sprinkle with the garlic powder and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Whisk together the vegetable broth, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and oregano in a medium bowl and pour over the potatoes.
- Place the skillet in the pre-heated oven and cook for 25 minutes before carefully turning the potatoes. Return to oven for another 25 minutes.
- After cook time is complete, remove the skillet from the oven and carefully drain and reserve any excess liquid in the skillet. Return to oven for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely browned on the edges.
- Tip: You can also place the skillet under a hot broiler for 2-3 minutes for even crispier results.
