Greek Lemon Potatoes

If you love potatoes – you will love this dish. If you love lemons – you will love this dish. If you love Greek food – you will love this dish.

And if you happen to be someone who doesn’t like potatoes – you will probably also love this dish! I’m serious. These potatoes are that delicious.

I personally know a handful of individuals who don’t like potatoes, yet love these!

These potatoes are worthy of any company, but can also be served as a weeknight meal as they are very low maintenance. How about topping these with seasoned chicken thighs in the last half an hour of cooking for a one pan supper?

Serve these with tzatziki or even plain Greek yogurt, if desired.

Yields6 Servings
Prep Time10 minsCook Time1 hrTotal Time1 hr 10 mins

 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and each cut into 6 long wedges
  cup olive oil
  cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
 1 ¾ tsp kosher salt
 ½ tsp pepper
 1 tsp dried oregano
 1 tsp other herbs (rosemary, italian seasoning)
 1 ½ cups chicken broth, and possibly more as needed
 3 garlic cloves, minced
 parsley and extra lemon slices for garnish, optional

1

Preheat the oven to 350F.

2

Mix all the ingredients together, except potatoes and garnish in a 9x13 baking dish, ideally glass or ceramic. Add potatoes and toss them to make sure they are coated with the mixture. Your potatoes should cover the entire bottom of the dish in a single layer, so if your potatoes were too small, you might need to add a few more. Cover tightly with aluminum wrap.

3

Bake in preheated oven for about 2 hours. Coat potatoes very gently with what should be a thickened sauce, avoid breaking your potato wedges. If not tender or the sauce is too runny, then cover back with aluminum foil and bake for another 15-30 minutes. Serve garnished with parsley and extra lemon slices if desired.
