Description
Greek-Style Lemon Potatoes with Garlic & Oregano are tender, golden potato wedges roasted in a savoury lemon-garlic broth with fragrant oregano and paprika. Simple Mediterranean ingredients create a comforting side dish that’s perfect with chicken, fish, grilled meats or a fresh Greek salad.
Ingredients
For the Potatoes:
1 kg potatoes (Yukon Gold or similar), cut into wedges
4 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1½ tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
For Garnish:
Fresh oregano or parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges
Crumbled feta cheese, optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Arrange the potato wedges in a large baking dish, keeping them in a single layer as much as possible.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, chicken or vegetable broth, dried oregano, paprika, salt and black pepper.
Pour the lemon-garlic mixture evenly over the potato wedges. Toss gently until the potatoes are well coated.
Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking, until tender inside and golden around the edges.
For extra golden and crispy edges, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) during the final 5–10 minutes of roasting. Watch carefully so the edges do not burn.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh oregano or chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Add crumbled feta cheese if desired.
Notes
Choose Yukon Gold or similar potatoes for tender centres and golden edges.
Keep the potato wedges in a single layer so they roast evenly.
Turn the wedges halfway through cooking for better browning.
Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavour.
Increase the oven temperature during the final 5–10 minutes for extra crispy edges.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to help restore crispness.
