Greek Potatoes

with Lemon, Oregano & Garlic


A customer recommended this style of roasted potatoes and it’s become a family favourite.  The potatoes roast slowly in a bath of lemon and olive oil, soaking up all the goodness.   It’s perfect for an afternoon when you’re spending time in the kitchen and can turn these often.


  1. 6 potatoes, peeled and quartered or cut into wedges

  2. 1 cup water

  3. ⅓ cup olive oil

  4. ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice

  5. 2 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

  6. 2 tsp salt

  7. 2 tsp dried oregano

  8. 1 tsp dried rosemary

  9. ½ tsp paprika

  10. several grinds black pepper    


Preheat oven to 350°F/176°C.


In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the potatoes.  Add the potatoes and toss gently to coat well.  Turn potatoes and all of the liquid into a 9x11 inch baking dish; distribute potatoes evenly.  Bake, uncovered, 1½  to 2 hours in the oven, turning occasionally, until tender but firm and most of the liquid has been absorbed.  You can raise the heat at the end to add a little golden colour to the potatoes.  Remove and sprinkle with a bit of sea salt, if desired, and serve.


Serves four alongside roasted or grilled meat, poultry, or fish.
