These are my version of Greek Lemon or Roasted Potatoes. These are the best version I have tasted, so far. Nicely seasoned with a nice crispy top with a fondant soft bottom, these potatoes please everyone at your table.
I’m sorry, but as a Greek, I would NEVER use lemon from a bottle. It doesn’t matter if the potatoes go in the oven, use fresh lemon juice. Chicken bouillon? That much water? Here’s how we’ve done it for generations in our restaurants in Crete: for at home use 3 lbs potatoes that you peel and quarter lengthwise and then boil for 5-6 minutes. You don’t want them done. Heat your oven in the meantime to 400F. In a big bowl, combine 3 minced garlic cloves, 3/4 cup Greek olive oil, 1/4 cup water, 1 Tbs dried Oregano, 1 tsp. Thyme, pepper, salt and the juice of 1 lemon. Take the pre- boiled potatoes out the water and into the bowl, mix carefully with the olive oil mix. Transfer the potatoes to a lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Turn them over and pierce to check for doneness. Broil for a moment for extra color and done! No MSG, just goodness! Kalí órexi! 🙂
I like that you used store cupboard products. so often people are but off by expensive or hard to find products, apart from the olive oil, the rest is fairly affordable and all long shelf life. Fresh everything is nice, but not always available or affordable
So good, I made these potatoes yesterday and they are truly the best. I was kind of proud that I made something so yummy. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
big fan of greek lemon potatoes made its alot with fresh lemon, chicken stock oh no this is not what a greek restaurant would do make a chieese buffet style restaurant in a small town kinda thing
I just wanted to let you know I have been using your recipe for over a year and they are always a hit! I get many compliments on them and I never get tired of eating them! Also my husband always asks for these to be made 🙂 Thank you for such a great recipe.
fantastic and easy recipe. previously i would par boil and then roast which is a big pain compared to this. anyone saying chicken broth doesn't belong probably hasn't tried it……thank you for the recipe.
LOOKS DELICIOUS BUT NEEDS REAL LEMON JUICE!!! + SOUR CREAM WHEN DONE. IT'S 1AM IN THE MORNING, NOW YOU HAVE MADE ME HUNGRY!!! TQ KINDLY FOR A DELICIOUS RECIPE 😋😋😋
I just made these tonight for dinner alongside a Greek chicken dish and WOW! SO flavorful and I loved how easy they were! Thank you for sharing! I’ll definitely be making these again.
Looks so delicious!!! I’m definitely going to try this for Pascha tomorrow, but I only have better than bouillon chicken bouillon on hand. I hope it still turns out okay. 🙂

This is the kind of truly authentic type of cooking channels I like! I hope you the best! (My potatoes are in the oven now! 🙂 ).
Why do you have such a long nail on your little finger?

Looks so good, love potatoes
I wonder if one could use just chicken stock instead of the water and pass on the chicken powder?……I will definitely try this…I am a lemon nut.
