Comment on Greek Lemon Potatoes by Florence
You see, I worked in a Greek restaurant in college that had THE BEST lemon potatoes and I’ve been tirelessly trying to emulate their recipe ever since.
And I finally did it!
These slow roasted potatoes are actually braised in a broth full of lemon, oregano, and garlic until they are fork-tender and practically bursting with that signature Greek flavor.

Greek lemon potatoes, or “patates lemonates,” are a tasty Greek side dish knowned for their vibrant flavors and tender texture.
The key to their distinctive taste is the combination of zesty lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and a generous drizzle of olive oil, resulting in a dish that perfectly balances tart and savory flavors, making them a favorite accompaniment to any Greek (or non-Greek!) meal.
Serve these potatoes sprinkled with feta or garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
I like to pair these with Greek salad, leg of lamb, or any protein like tri-tip steak or baked chicken thighs.
Storage
Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
