Greek Lemon Potatoes

For the dreamiest roasted potatoes — with creamy insides and very crispy outsides — follow this classic Greek method of roasting peeled potatoes in equal parts olive oil, lemon juice and chicken stock.

Customization & Serving

While this recipe shines as written, it's easy to make it your own. You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian option, or experiment with a pinch of dried dill or marjoram alongside the oregano for a slightly different aromatic profile. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to suit your preference for more or less citrus tang.

These savory lemon potatoes are the ideal accompaniment to grilled chicken, roasted lamb, or any Mediterranean-inspired main course, offering a vibrant and comforting contrast.
