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.

GREEK POTATOES (OVEN-ROASTED AND DELICIOUS!)



Greek Potatoes (Oven-Roasted and Delicious!) image

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.

Time 1h29m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large potatoes, peeled, cut into large wedges (about 6-7 wedges per potato)
4 garlic cloves, minced (more garlic is a good thing, less garlic is a no-no for this recipe)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup water
1 tablespoon dried oregano (to taste)
1 large lemon, juiced
sea salt
fresh coarse ground black pepper

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.

  • Season the potatoes generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and herbs, such as oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them to brown and crisp.
  • Stir the potatoes occasionally: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Greek potatoes are best served hot and crispy.
