Description

These Authentic Greek Potatoes are roasted to golden perfection in a lemony, garlicky olive oil broth. Crispy on the edges and tender inside, they’re bursting with bright, savory Mediterranean flavor. Perfect as a side for grilled meats, salads, or on their own with a slab of feta.


Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes

1/3 cup olive oil

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup vegetable broth

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Wash and halve the potatoes (or quarter if using larger ones).

3. In a large bowl or baking dish, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

4. Add the potatoes and toss to coat thoroughly.

5. Pour in the vegetable broth and arrange the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer.

6. Roast for 40–50 minutes, flipping once halfway through to ensure even browning.

7. For a crispy finish, broil for an additional 3–5 minutes.

8. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve hot.


Notes

Perfect for serving with grilled meats or a Greek salad. Reheats beautifully in the oven. Vegan and gluten-free.
