Amazing Flavor. These Greek lemon potatoes are roasted in a bath of chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic and Oregano. All the liquid is absorbed into the potatoes for incredible flavor and tender texture.

Ingredients Needed

• Red Potatoes. You can also use Yukon Gold Potatoes
• Chicken Broth. You can also use vegetable broth.
• Fresh Lemon Juice
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Dried Oregano
• Black Pepper
• Minced Garlic Cloves

How To Make Greek Lemon Potatoes

• Place cut potatoes in 9 x 13 pan (foil pan recommended)
• Mix together chicken broth, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, pepper and garlic.

• Bake uncovered at 450 degrees F for 1.5 hours, stirring every 20 minutes as they bake.

• Add more liquid if needed the last 20 minutes.( I didn’t have to)

Equipment

• Baking Dish (9×13)

Ingredients

• 3 lb. red potatoes cut in half or quartered depending on size
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 4 tsp minced garlic
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
• Cut potatoes in half or in quarters, depending on size.
• Place cubed potatoes in 9 x 13 pan (foil pan recommended)
• In a bowl, mix together chicken broth, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, pepper and garlic.
• Pour liquid over potatoes.
• Bake uncovered for 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 hours stirring every 20 minutes as they bake.
• Add more liquid if needed ( I didn’t have to)
• Liquid will evaporate the final 20 minutes or so.
• Be sure to stir so they don’t burn.
• Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

1. I cooked my Greek lemon potatoes in a ceramic 9 x 13 pam but I highly recommend using a disposable aluminum foil pan because your dish ends up getting pretty dark and black!  Clean up is much easier when you can just throw the pan away.
2. The potatoes bake for about 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 hours so plan ahead. They also need to be stirred every 20 minutes so plan on being around as they bake.  
3. All the liquid should be absorbed by the last 20 minutes of baking time. It is gone before that, add in some additional chicken broth.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I am a non-potato eating girl married to an Idaho Boy, grandson of a potato farmer.  That can be a bit of a problem some times.  Over the years though I have worked hard to try to learn to enjoy some potatoes.  I have learned that I can handle small and crisp potatoes.  So I tend to cut up my potatoes small and cook them for a long time!

Perfect Side Dish. This recipe for crispy Parmesan potatoes fits my potato criteria pretty well.  Small, crisp and covered in Parmesan cheese.  I cut the potatoes into a nice small cube size but you can make them any size you want.

Ingredients Needed

• Potatoes, for this recipe I used a firm russet potatoes but I often will use a red potato.  Yukon gold potatoes also work but they are a little softer potato.
• Parmesan Cheese, finely grated. I use the store bought finely grated Parmesan cheese rather than grating it myself, it gives it a crisper finish.
• All Purpose Flour
• Salt and Pepper
• Butter, salted
• Parsley, dried or fresh parsley for garnish

How to Make Roasted Parmesan Potatoes

• Cut up the potatoes into bite size pieces or potato wedges, about 3/4 of inch in size.
• Combine cheese, flour, salt and pepper in a bag or bowl. 
• Add the potatoes and shake or toss to coat potatoes.

• Drizzle melted butter on the baking sheet
• Place potatoes in a single layer on the pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for until potatoes are crispy on the edges and golden brown, about one hour, turnin them every 15 minutes to make sure they are evenly golden brown.

This recipe make me a sweet potato fan!

Easy to Make. The recipe requires a bit of chopping but then all you have to do is toss them in oil and seasoning and bake!

Savory and Sweet. The sweet potato has a natural sweetness which is enhanced by the roasting and if you want a bit more sweet I love to drizzle with some maple syrup. The sweetness is perfectly balanced by the salt and seasonings that you add.

Delicious anytime. This dish can be served at breakfast or at dinner. It is the perfect side dish anytime.

Ingredients Needed

• Sweet Potatoes
• Olive Oil
• Salt and Black Pepper
• Fresh Thyme
• Maple Syrup

How to Make Roasted Sweet Potatoes

• Peel sweet potatoes if desired. Cut the potato into 1/2-3/4 inch wide discs. Cut each disc into 1/2-3/4 inch pieces.

• Place sweet potato cubes on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Don’t crowd your potatoes on the baking sheet – they will cook better with air circulation around them. If you need to, use two baking sheets.

• Season with salt, pepper and dried thyme. You can use fresh or dried thyme, use half the amount of dried thyme. You can add in any additional seasoning you like. Toss to coat.

• Put into a 425 degrees F oven. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes. or until desired doneness. You want them fork tender.

• Serve as is or I like to drizzle them with real maple syrup while they are still warm.
