Greek Potato Recipe

A favorite oven roasted side for any grilled entrée…these potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. Yukon Gold potatoes are great for this recipe; baby reds may also be used as a nice variation. Only use olive oil and don’t cut back on the garlic. Recipe serves 6-8

greek potatoes

Ingredients

  • 8 large potatoes, washed, dried and cut into wedges (6-8 wedges per potato)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ c olive oil
  • 1 c water
  • 1 ½ T dried oregano
  • 1 large lemon (juiced)
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 440 F (I know, it’s a little odd, but it’s the perfect temp).

Choose a baking pan with sides so that the liquid does not roll off the pan during baking. A cookie sheet does not work for this recipe.

Spray the pan with cooking spray.

Put all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Generously season with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly distribute. Pour into baking pan.

Bake for 40 minutes. When the top has formed a golden brown crust, stir the potatoes to bring the white underside to the top.

If all of the liquids have been absorbed and pan is looking dry, add ½ c water.

Return to the oven for another 40 minutes. Don’t be afraid of overcooking these- it may seem like a long time, but they are delicious and the cooking time is correct.
