Authentic Greek Potatoes

  • Author: Alioui
  • Total Time: 80 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

These Authentic Greek Potatoes are roasted to golden perfection in a deliciously garlicky lemon and olive oil broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is perfect for roasting, ensuring the outside of your potatoes becomes beautifully crispy while keeping the inside soft and tender.
  2. Next, wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can either halve or quarter them, depending on your preferred size, making sure the pieces are roughly uniform for even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, vegetable broth, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they’re well-blended into a marinade.
  4. Add the cut potatoes into this marinade, coating them thoroughly. Let them sit for about 10 minutes; this allows the potatoes to absorb all those fantastic flavors.
  5. Transfer the potatoes along with the marinade into a baking dish, arranging them cut side down to maximize browning.
  6. Roast the potatoes uncovered in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes. This initial roasting phase helps achieve that desirable golden color.
  7. After 40 minutes, carefully flip the potatoes. Baste them with the pan juices to enhance their flavors even more. Return to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and crisp.
  8. Once done, you may choose to garnish with fresh parsley for a lovely touch of color and flavor. Serve these babies hot for the best experience!

Notes

For best results, choose potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.
