Ingredients for Greek Lemon Potatoes
How to make Greek Lemon Potatoes
First, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, yellow mustard, salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic in a large bowl. Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the oil mixture and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking pan coated with nonstick spray or a rimmed baking sheet coated with nonstick spray.
Drizzle the chicken broth over the potatoes as evenly as possible. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for another 20 minutes or until the liquid evaporates and the potatoes are lightly browned and fork-tender. If desired, top with chopped fresh parsley.
Recipe Tips
- Yukon gold potatoes are slightly waxy and are my go-to for this recipe. You can use Russet potatoes, but they will not be as creamy.
- For best results, peel the potatoes. The sauce’s flavor bakes on the potatoes, creating a delicious coating.
- Use dried oregano, as fresh oregano can be bitter.
- Vegetable broth or vegetable stock can be substituted for chicken broth.
Storage and Reheat
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or in the air fryer at 325 degrees for 3-4 minutes. They can also be heated in the microwave at reduced power.
To freeze, first, cool completely. Then, add the potatoes to a sturdy freezer container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven, air fryer, or microwave.
