Greek Potatoes

Greek Potatoes Recipe with a bright lemon-garlic flavor, buttery-soft insides, and crisp, golden edges. These are so good!
Whenever I get Greek food, I always make sure to order the lemon potatoes if they’re on the menu. They’re my absolute favorite. Buttery potatoes with tender insides, crisp edges, and that subtle lemon-oregano flavor? Divine.
It took me a few tries to get these just right. I tested marinating them, baking them in a casserole dish (no crisp that way!), tried roasting with more liquid, then less, and finally landed right in the sweet spot.
And while it’s not totally traditional, I found that a small touch of Dijon mustard gives the roasting liquid the perfect body and flavor. Just trust me on this one!
This is my perfect Greek potatoes recipe, and it takes some serious self-control not to make them as a side with everything I cook.
