Crispy Greek-Style Roast Potatoes with Lemon
🇬🇷 Crispy Greek-Style Roast Potatoes with Lemon
Crispy outside, fluffy inside and full of lemony herb flavour, these Greek-Style Roast Potatoes are the side dish everyone reaches for twice. Greek Seasoning, garlic and olive oil coat every golden edge, while a splash of stock keeps the centres tender. They are perfect with grilled meat, baked fish or a colourful vegetarian spread.
⏱️ Prep & Cook Time
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Cook time: 50–60 minutes
- Serves: 4–6
🧾 Ingredients
- 1kg floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper, peeled and cut into chunky wedges
- 2 tbsp Greek Seasoning
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 4 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
- 150ml vegetable or chicken stock
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Fresh parsley and extra lemon wedges, to serve
🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 210°C, 190°C fan. Place a large roasting tin in the oven to heat.
- Parboil the potatoes in salted water for 7 minutes. Drain thoroughly, return them to the pan and shake gently to roughen the edges.
- Carefully add the potatoes to the hot roasting tin. Toss with the Greek Seasoning, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and black pepper.
- Pour the stock around the potatoes, keeping the tops exposed. Roast for 45–55 minutes, turning once, until the stock has evaporated and the potatoes are deeply golden and crisp.
- Scatter with parsley and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Serve alongside chicken souvlaki or the salmon traybake.
- Pile into a sharing bowl with crumbled feta.
- Use leftovers in a Greek-style breakfast with eggs.
💛 Why This Recipe Works
- Roughened potato edges create extra crunch.
- Stock steams the centres before evaporating.
- Lemon peel and herbs in the seasoning echo the fresh lemon juice.
🌿 Spice & Dipity Tip
Give the potatoes plenty of space. Use two tins if necessary so they roast rather than steam.
