Theseย Greek-style roasted potatoesย are crispy, lemony, and infused with Mediterranean flavors. Baked with olive oil, garlic, and oregano, they make the perfect side dish for grilled meats, seafood, or a hearty vegetarian meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/2 lbs (1.1 kg) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for extra color)
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:ย Set oven toย 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
  2. Prepare Potatoes:ย Peel and cut potatoes into wedges. Place them in a single layer in the baking dish.
  3. Make the Marinade:ย In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, broth, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Coat Potatoes:ย Pour the marinade over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Bake Covered:ย Cover the dish with foil and bake forย 40 minutes, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavorful liquid.
  6. Roast Uncovered:ย Remove the foil, give the potatoes a gentle toss, and bake uncovered for anotherย 25-30 minutesuntil golden brown and crispy.
  7. Optional Butter Finish:ย For extra richness, toss the hot potatoes with a tablespoon of butter before serving.
  8. Garnish & Serve:ย Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness,ย broil for the lastย 5 minutesย of baking.
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoesย for a creamy texture inside, or Russet potatoes for extra crispiness.
  • For a vegan version,ย use vegetable broth and skip the butter.
  • Great pairings:ย Serve with grilled chicken, lamb, or tzatziki sauce.
