Greek lemon roasted potatoes with oregano
Tangy, golden-crusted potatoes soaked in a garlicky lemon-oregano broth that gets absorbed as they roast — impossibly crispy edges, creamy centers, and enough flavor to steal the show from whatever they're sitting next to.

- 900 g yukon gold potatoescut into wedges, about 6 per potato
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 2 medium lemonjuiced (about 80ml juice)
- 5 garlic clovesminced
- 1 tbs dried oregano
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepperfreshly ground
- 1
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, sweet paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper until combined.

Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until every piece is well coated in the lemon-oregano mixture.
- 3
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the sheet pan, cut-side down, and pour any remaining liquid from the bowl over the top. The liquid should pool around the potatoes — this is what gives them their signature braised-then-crisped texture.
- 4
Roast for 25 minutes without disturbing. The liquid will bubble away and the undersides will turn deeply golden and crispy at the edges.
- 5
Flip the potatoes with a spatula and roast for another 15–20 minutes until the second side is golden brown, the edges are visibly caramelized, and the centers are creamy and fork-tender. Most of the liquid should be absorbed or evaporated.
- 6
Let the potatoes rest on the pan for 3 minutes — they'll crisp up even more as they cool slightly.
Tip: Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on a sheet pan at 200°C (400°F) for 8–10 minutes to restore the crispiness — the microwave will make them soggy.
