Description

Zesty Greek-Style Potatoes with a Citrusy Twist – these oven-roasted potatoes are infused with bold Mediterranean flavors, featuring a perfect blend of lemon, garlic, and oregano. A simple yet delicious side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or vegetables!

 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Add the halved baby potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly in the lemon mixture.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a large baking dish and pour the vegetable broth around them.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy edges, broil the potatoes for 3-5 minutes after baking.
  • You can use regular potatoes cut into wedges if baby potatoes aren’t available.
  • Add a sprinkle of feta cheese for an authentic Greek twist!
