Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
2 lemons
6 cloves garlic, 4 whole, 2 finely chopped
4 to 6 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into thirds or quarters depending on the size
Olive oil, for the pan
Crushed red pepper, as needed
1 small bunch fresh oregano, stems removed, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • To a large pot of cool water, add 3 large pinches of salt. Slice a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the water. Add the squeezed lemon halves and the 4 whole cloves of garlic. Add the potatoes and bring the water to a boil; boil lightly until the potatoes are fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes completely, allowing as much liquid as possible to drain off. Cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil to generously coat. Add the chopped garlic and saute until it just begins to soften but does not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the potatoes cut-sides down in an even layer (you may have to do these in batches in order to not crowd the pan). Cook, flipping as necessary, until brown and crispy on all sides, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and red pepper. Add the oregano and the juice and zest from the remaining lemon. Stir to coat completely. Remove from the heat and serve!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a little dry and bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out great. I served them with grilled chicken and they were a perfect match.

These potatoes were a little too lemony for my taste, but my husband loved them.

I'm not usually a fan of roasted potatoes, but these were amazing! The lemon and herbs really made them special.

These Greek potatoes were a hit at our dinner party! The lemon flavor was bright and tangy, and the potatoes were perfectly roasted. I will definitely be making these again.
