Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, mix together spices. Set aside.
- Place potato wedges in a large lightly-oiled baking dish (I used this one) and sprinkle with the spice mix. Toss potatoes together briefly to evenly distribute spices.
- In a bowl, whisk together chopped garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and broth. Pour into baking dish with potatoes.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the 400 degree F-heated oven for 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven briefly. Uncover and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the potato wedges. Return to oven uncovered to roast for another 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through and have turned a nice golden brown with a little crust forming.
- If needed, to add more color, you may place the dish under the broiler for 3 minutes or so, watching carefully.
- Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!

GREEK POTATOES (OVEN-ROASTED AND DELICIOUS!)
These potatoes are a staple in our home. Whether accompanying roast lamb or chicken, or just on their own, we have them a couple of times a week. They are delicious and the ones that get overly-brown in the pan and stick a bit are MINE! Clean up is a little tricky with this recipe, unless you line your pans with foil, but I find that just filling the pan up with hot, sudsy water and forgetting for an hour (something I apparently have no problem doing ;-)) helps a lot.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 420°F A reviewer has suggested spraying the baking pan with Pam - that sounds like a great idea!
- Put all the ingredients into a baking pan large enough to hold them.
- Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
- Make sure your hands are very clean and put them in the pan and give everything a toss to distribute.
- The garlic will drop into the water/oil solution but its flavour will permeate the potatoes, and this way, it won't burn.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- When a nice golden-brown crust has formed on the potatoes, give them a stir to bring the white underside up, season lightly with a bit more sea salt and pepper and just a light sprinkling of oregano.
- Add 1/2 cup more water if pan appears to be getting dry, and pop back into oven to brown other side of potatoes.
- This will take about another 40 minutes.
- Do not be afraid of overcooking the potatoes- they will be delicious.
- Note: I often melt a bouillon cube in the water; if you do, make sure to cut back some on the salt.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH GARLIC, LEMON, AND OREGANO
For perfect Roasted Potatoes with Garlic, Lemon, and Oregano there is no need to peel them, but I suggest that you halve them, because they taste best when they can absorb more sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place the potatoes in a single layer in a 13-x-9-inch baking dish and pour the oil over them. Add the garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste and toss well to coat with the oil.
- Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes. Add the stock, toss and bake for 10 minutes more. Add the lemon juice, toss and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the potatoes are cooked through. If you like, preheat the broiler and broil the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Sprinkle with the fresh oregano and serve at once.
- Variation:
- Dissolve 1 tablespoon tomato paste in the stock, and reduce the amount of lemon juice to taste. Substitute Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for the black pepper.

Steps:
- In a roasting pan, toss the potatoes with all the ingredients - except the stock. I prefer to set them aside for a little bit to 'marinade' them so the flavors get absorbed but if you're in a hurry, don't worry about it. They'll still be delicious. Add enough stock to the pan so that they are 1/2 covered. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake them for about 40 minutes at 350°F Check that they are tender. If they're still hard, bake for another 20 minutes. If you need more liquid, add more stock but just enough to cover the bottom so they don't stick to the pan. when they are almost done, increase the oven temperature to about 400°F Remove the foil and bake them uncovered for another 20-30 minutes so they get a nice red-brown color. Shortcut: Par-boil the potatoes for 10 minutes in plain water with a cube or two of chicken base. After they drain and cool down a bit, toss them with the ingredients and then bake, uncovered, using just enough stock to cover the bottom of the pan. This way, it only takes about 30 minutes to finish the dish.
GREEK STYLE POTATOES
Greek Style Potatoes is a simple recipe, and the closest I can get to the real thing. The best is that it can be adjusted to your taste as you bake it. I sometimes add a little more lemon. The potatoes are moist, and great with green beans and baked chicken with a little salsa and feta on top.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and become crispy on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be sure to use the same blade thickness for all of the potatoes.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
- Use a generous amount of olive oil: This will help the potatoes to crisp up and brown nicely.
- Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano are all classic Greek seasonings that work well with potatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will not cook evenly and will become soggy.
- Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat: This will help them to brown quickly and evenly.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
- Serve the potatoes hot: Greek potatoes are best served hot, right out of the oven. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Greek potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a new side dish or main course, give Greek potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
