These Greek Potatoes are Mediterranean inspired, but came to my attention by way of a gal from the Midwest reminiscing eating Greek Potatoes a diner. This dish is packed with lemon flavor and the unlikely combination of lemon and potato is absolutely delicious. The ingredients are simple and the cooking is easy. Throw it together, let it roast, then win your next dish to pass event.
Ingredients
Everything you’ll need for this dish will be at your local grocer. Even if you’re shopping in the smallest grocery store, you will be able to find everything you need. One thing, it is important that you get Golden Potatoes for this recipe. Golden Potatoes have a thin skin and a creamy texture when roasted. They’ll absorb the liquids in this recipe, which means they’ll absorb all the flavor. The thin skin crisps up nicely in the oven, and that crispy texture is why we’re all here. Here’s what you’ll need.
- Golden Potatoes
- Olive Oil
- Chicken Broth
- Lemon Juice
- Lemon Zest
- Dried Oregano
- Kosher Salt
- Garlic Powder
