Greek Roast Potatoes Recipe | Crispy Lemon & Herb Potatoes

Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside – these Greek roast potatoes are baked with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. The perfect side dish for any Mediterranean meal.

🥔 Why You’ll Love This Greek Potato Dish

If you’re looking for the ultimate roast potato recipe that’s not just golden and crispy but also bursting with Mediterranean flavors, this is it. Greek lemon potatoes are a staple in Greek homes and tavernas. Infused with lemon, garlic, oregano, and extra virgin olive oil — they’re the perfect side for roast chicken, lamb, or fish.

⭐ Ingredients (Serves 4–5)

  • 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon zest for extra flavor (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2: Prep the Potatoes
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 3: Bake with Broth
Transfer the potatoes to a large baking tray in a single layer. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth around the potatoes.

Step 4: Roast to Perfection
Bake uncovered for 40 minutes. Flip the potatoes, then bake for another 30–35 minutes, or until golden and crispy on the edges and tender inside.

Optional: For crispier results, broil for the last 5 minutes.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and lemon zest before serving.

🍽 What to Serve With Greek Potatoes

  • Greek Lemon Chicken
  • Grilled lamb or souvlaki
  • Tzatziki sauce and pita bread
  • Greek salad with feta and olives

💡 Tips for the Best Greek Roast Potatoes

  • Use starchy potatoes like Russet for fluffiness inside.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan – crispiness comes from airflow.
  • Add a dash of semolina for extra crispy edges (Greek secret tip!).
