greek lemon potatoes

Recipe video above. The idea behind this recipe is that the potatoes suck up the amazing lemon-garlic-oregano flavoured broth, then roasted until golden. These won't go super crunchy because of the way they're cooked - but you won't miss the crunch because they have flavour unlike any other ordinary roasted potato! If crunch is what you're after, try this recipe: Truly Crunchy Roast Potatoes.

Greek Lemon Potatoes

1.2 kg / 2.5lb potatoes (, starchy (Note 1))

chicken

/ 125 ml olive oil

/ 85 ml lemon juice

garlic (, minced)

oregano

tsp salt ((Note 3))

Lemon wedges, fresh oregano leaves

Preheat oven to 200C/390F (standard) or 180C/350F (fan).

Peel potatoes and cut large ones into thick wedges - about 3cm / 1.2" thick - and medium ones into 3 (see photo in post).

Place in a roasting pan with all the other ingredients. Toss well.

Roast for 20 minutes. Turn potatoes, roast for a further 25 to 30 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed by potatoes/evaporated and you're left with mainly oil in the pan.

To crisp the potatoes (optional): Transfer potatoes to a separate tray. (Note 3) Tilt the original roasting pan and scoop off as much of the oil as you can (some juices is ok), then drizzle over the potatoes.

Transfer potatoes to oven and roast for 20 - 25 minutes, turning once or twice, until potatoes are golden and a bit crispy.

Return the pan with the garlic juices to the oven for the last 5 - 10 minutes or so to reduce down and make the garlic golden. (Optional, Note 4)

Transfer potatoes to serving platter. Drizzle over the reduced garlic pan juices (or toss potatoes in the pan). Serve, garnished with lemon wedges and oregano if desired.&nbsp;

Crispiest Greek Lemon Potatoes Recipe (Patates Lemonates)

potatoes (maris piper)

garlic, minced

olive oil (3/4 cup)

water (3/4 cup)

lemons

teaspoon semolina

salt and pepper

To prepare these extra crispy Greek lemon potatoes, cut the potatoes into wedges and place them on a large metal roasting pan. Into a bowl add the remaining ingredients (including the semolina and the 150ml of water) and blend; pour the semolina-lemon mixture over the potatoes and season well with salt and pepper.

Bake for 40 minutes, until a nice golden crust has formed on the potatoes; turn them out of the oven, toss them a little bit to bring them upside down, sprinkle with a pinch of oregano and put back into the oven for another 30-40 minutes. If all of the liquid has been absorbed and the pan appears to be getting dry, add 1/4-1/2 of a cup hot water into the pan or some extra lemon mixture, before they have fully browned

The secret for these extra crispy Greek lemon potatoes is to sprinkle the potatoes with some semolina, as it helps to form a nice golden crust around them. Don&#8217;t be afraid of over baking them- they will become even more delicious!
