Bright, zesty, and so delicious, these Lemon Greek Potatoes are the side dish that everyone will love! With a crispy outside, fluffy inside, this easy make ahead recipe is perfect for holidays or everyday dinners.

Lemon Greek Potatoes

When it comes to crowd pleasing side dishes, Lemon Greek Potatoes are always a star. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and bursting with bright citrus and herb flavors, this recipe is a perfect balance of comfort food and fresh flavor.

What makes this dish shine is the lemony, garlicky marinade that infuses every bite of the potato. It’s hearty enough to hold its own yet versatile enough to pair beautifully with roasted chicken, lamb, seafood, or even a holiday roast.

The Best Lemon Greek Potatoes

Holiday dinners and family get togethers can be stressful, but this recipe is a lifesaver. You can prep the potatoes in advance, then simply slide them into the oven on the day of your event. That means less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying your company.

Plus, because the flavors only deepen as the potatoes rest in the marinade, making them ahead actually enhances the taste, making them an ideal dish for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or even Sunday dinner with friends.

Lemon Greek Potatoes Ingredients

Serve these Lemon Greek Potatoes alongside roasted chicken, holiday ham, or even a Mediterranean-inspired spread. However you pair them, they’ll bring a burst of brightness and comfort to your table.

• potatoes, cut into wedges
• olive oil
• vegetable broth
• dried oregano
• salt & black pepper
• lemons (1 for juice, 1 for slicing)
• garlic, minced
• Chopped parsley for garnish

Make Ahead Instructions

Peel and cut your potatoes, then toss them in the marinade and place everything in your baking dish. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. On the day of your dinner, simply bake as directed, no extra fuss needed.

This make-ahead trick means you can focus on the main course (or that dessert you’ve been dying to try) while still serving a stunning side dish.

Lemon Greek Potatoes Cooking Tips

For the best results, choose Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, as they soak up the marinade beautifully and crisp up perfectly in the oven. The key to achieving that golden, irresistible texture is baking the potatoes uncovered in a mixture of broth, lemon juice, and olive oil.

*This not only infuses them with flavor but also keeps the insides tender while the edges caramelize.*

Make sure to spread the potatoes out in a single layer so they roast evenly rather than steaming, and finish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or oregano just before serving to brighten up the flavors.

Storing Lemon Greek Potatoes

If you find yourself with leftovers, these potatoes keep well in the refrigerator for up to four days when stored in an airtight container. To reheat and preserve their crispness, place them back in the oven at 375°F until warmed through.

If you’re short on time, the microwave works too, though the potatoes will be softer. While they’re delicious when fresh, I don’t recommend freezing them since the texture can change. Instead, enjoy them within a few days for the best flavor and crunch.
