About this Recipe

These roasted potato wedges come out crisp and golden brown. The potatoes are braised in the lemon-garlic broth while they bake. The wedges soak up the flavor around them and continue to cook until the liquid is evaporated. When it’s done you won’t have any of the broth, just the crispy, and fork-tender roasted potatoes that are worthy of a Greek restaurant.

Cooking Tips & Tricks

• Garlic-lemon mixture: Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, oregano and black pepper in a large bowl. Continue whisking until the oil combines with the lemon juice.
• Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into 2 inch chunks. Add the chopped potatoes into the bowl and toss until the potatoes are coated. Place potatoes in a single layer on the baking dish.
• Broth: Add the chicken broth to your baking dish. Be careful when pouring it in that it doesn’t take all the oil off the potatoes.
• Bake: Roast your potatoes in the oven pre-heated to 400 degrees. Leave the potatoes uncovered and cook them for 60-70 minutes. Leave them to roast until the potatoes are crispy and most the liquid cooks away.

Ideas to Serve

Tzatziki is a classic sauce to serve with Greek dishes like souvlaki. Make some of your own to use as a dipping sauce for this Greek Potato Recipe.

• Grate ½ cup of cucumber, then put it in a towel to take out the excess water.
• In a bowl mix together the prepared cucumber, 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon chopped dill, and 1 tablespoon chopped mint.
• Put the dip in the fridge to chill for an hour or so before serving.

Variations

• Potatoes: This recipe calls for Yukon potatoes, but you could make it with other kinds of potatoes like russet or red potatoes.
• Vegetarian: These potatoes are already gluten-free, if you need them to work with a vegetarian or vegan diet you just have to replace the chicken broth. Use a vegetable broth instead for an easy potato recipe that works for most diets.
• Add-ins: You can use Greek Lemon ingredients to flavor more than just potatoes. Try adding some vegetables to the mix and roasting them along with the Greek potatoes. Carrots, eggplant, and summer squash could work well. For some more flavor try adding a little extra minced garlic cloves and parsley to your lemony potatoes.
