Greek Lemon Potatoes (Oven-Roasted)

These Greek Lemon Potatoes are the ultimate side dish—crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and bursting with zesty Mediterranean flavors! Roasted in a garlicky lemon-oregano broth, these potatoes soak up all the delicious juices while developing a golden, caramelized crust.

Inspired by traditional Greek tavernas, this recipe is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and incredibly easy to make. The secret? A simple marinade and slow roasting for maximum flavor. Perfect alongside grilled meats, fish, or as part of a mezze platter.

Why you’ll love it:
✔ Minimal prep, big flavor (just chop, mix, and roast!)
✔ No flipping needed – the broth keeps them moist while the oven crisps them up
✔ Meal-prep friendly – tastes even better the next day!

Recommended Occasions: Sunday family dinners, Greek-themed feasts, Holiday side dish, Meal prep (reheats beautifully!), BBQs or potlucks.
