Greek lemon roasted potatoes with oregano

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.

Ingredients
4servings
  • 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
Steps
  1. 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.

  2. 2

    Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until every piece is well coated in the lemon-oregano mixture.

  3. 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. 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. 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. 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.
