Ingredients for Greek lemon potatoes, including medium potatoes, fresh parsley, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, and vegetable broth, arranged on a marble surface.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 3 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 lemons (1 for juice, 1 for slicing)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

How to Make Lemon Greek Potatoes 🥔✨

1. Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high heat helps the potatoes get beautifully golden and crispy.

2. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and cut your potatoes into wedges and place them snugly in a baking dish.

3. Whisk the Marinade

In a small bowl, whisk together:

  • Vegetable broth
  • Lemon juice
  • Olive oil
  • Oregano, salt, and pepper

4. Pour It On

Drizzle this liquid gold over the potatoes. Don’t worry if it pools a bit at the bottom—it’ll steam the potatoes before crisping them up.

5. Garlic & Garnish

Press or finely mince your garlic and sprinkle it over the wedges. Add a handful of chopped parsley right on top.

6. Lemon Slices for Magic

Thinly slice your second lemon and layer the slices over the potatoes. This adds aroma and drama.

7. Bake Until Golden

Roast for 45–55 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and crisp around the edges. Give them a gentle toss halfway through if you’d like more even browning.

8. Top & Serve

Add a final sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve immediately. Bonus points if you drizzle with a bit of extra olive oil at the table. 🫒

FAQ: All About Greek Lemon Potatoes

Can I use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth?

Absolutely! If you’re not cooking vegan or vegetarian, chicken broth works beautifully and adds extra savory depth.

What kind of potatoes are best for this recipe?

We love using Yukon Golds for their creamy interior and crisp-friendly exterior. That said, russet potatoes, baby potatoes, or even red potatoes will also do the trick—just make sure they’re cut into uniform wedges for even roasting.

Do I need to peel the potatoes?

Nope! The skin gets crispy and adds lovely texture, but if you prefer peeled potatoes, feel free to peel them before cutting into wedges.

Can I make these in advance?

These potatoes are best fresh from the oven, but you can prep everything ahead—cut the potatoes, mix the broth-lemon-olive oil mixture, and keep it all chilled separately until you’re ready to bake. Leftovers reheat well too!

How do I make them extra crispy?

For crispier results, don’t overcrowd the pan and make sure the cut sides of the wedges are facing down. You can also broil them for 3–5 minutes at the end, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Can I freeze Greek lemon potatoes?

They technically can be frozen, but they may lose some of their texture once thawed. If you do freeze them, reheat in a hot oven or skillet for the best texture.

What to Serve with Greek Lemon Potatoes

  • Grilled or roasted meats (like chicken souvlaki or lamb)
  • Chickpea salad or tabbouleh
  • Baked feta or hummus
  • Halloumi skewers
  • Simple Greek yogurt dip with dill

Or—keep it casual and just eat them from the tray with your fingers. Again, no judgment. 😉

Substitutions & Tips

  • Potatoes: Yukon Gold or yellow potatoes are ideal, but russets or baby potatoes also work.
  • Broth: You can use chicken broth if not vegan. Even water with a bouillon cube can work in a pinch.
  • Herbs: Swap oregano for thyme or rosemary for a new twist.
  • Extra crispy? Turn on the broiler for the last 3–5 minutes—just keep an eye on them!

Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat: In the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes, or pan-fry for extra crisp.
  • Freezer: Not ideal, as the texture may get mealy.
