For the Potatoes

Seasoning

Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Greek Lemon Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, broth, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Cut your yellow potatoes into wedge shapes and place them in a baking dish. Pour the lemony broth mixture over the potatoes and arrange the wedges cut side down in a single layer.
  4. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  5. After 40 minutes, carefully remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, basting with pan juices once or twice.
  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley over the warm potatoes, and serve immediately, optionally with tzatziki sauce on the side.
