Description
Authentic Greek lemon potatoes, tender and flavorful, roasted to perfection with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1.5-inch chunks
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the potato chunks, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 40-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, flipping them halfway through.
- If using broth, add it to the baking sheet during the last 15 minutes of roasting.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For crispier potatoes, ensure they are in a single layer and do not overcrowd the baking sheet.
- Feel free to add other herbs like rosemary or dill.
- Adjust lemon juice quantity to your preference.
