Why we love these Greek lemon potatoes the best
- They are LEMONY! Cause who wants to eat lemon potatoes with only a hint of lemon flavor?
- They are an easy to make side dish that pairs perfectly with my two favorite staple recipes: Perfect Baked Chicken Breasts and Juicy Baked Pork Chops.
- Soft inside and lightly crispy on the outside with a few delicious charred bits just for good measure.
- One pan = super easy cleanup.
How to make lemon potatoes
- Chop the potatoes into wedges then put them in a baking dish with olive oil, lemon juice, and a few spices.
- Now bake them for about half an hour.
- Gently mix the potatoes around then put them back into the oven for another 30 minutes.
Here’s where you have two options:

- If you’ve chosen a larger, broil-safe baking dish, you can simply drizzle the potatoes with a little extra olive oil and broil them for a few minutes to give them some color.
- If your baking dish is smaller (like the one in the picture) or is not broil-safe, transfer the potatoes (and any juice left in the pan) to a baking sheet before broiling them for a few minutes.
What to serve with this Greek potatoes recipe
Most of the time I serve these potatoes with either my perfect Baked Chicken Breasts or my juicy Baked Pork Chops recipes. I simply adjust the oven temperature at the end of cooking then put the chicken or pork barrel into the oven with the potatoes. While everything is in the oven, I put together a childlike salad ( with one of my front-runner salad dressing recipes ) then dinner is ready .

- Roast the potatoes for 30 mintues then toss and roast them again for another 20-30 minutes, or until the pan is dry and the potatoes have started to brown. For extra color on the potatoes, drizzle them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil then broil for 5-7 mintues. ( see notes )
- Sprinkle the potatoes with the parsley and serve right aside.
¼ cup minced parsley
Notes
To make potato wedges, quarter the potatoes. I prefer to cut each of the wedges in half so the pieces are smaller. This recipe will work with both boastfully and small wedges .
If you can not broil with your baking dish, you can transfer the potatoes to a sail pan and broil them that means.
