If you’re looking to take your roasted potato recipe to the next level, we highly recommend trying these Greek potatoes. Simple and comforting lemon roasted potatoes with fresh garlic. A little twist: add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese!
So, what’s the secret to the best Greek potatoes?
Yes, these are what you would call Greek lemon potatoes. The main flavor makers here are lemon juice and garlic (lots of it). Plus, a dash or rosemary and paprika.
A little secret ingredient here is a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese added midway through baking. This isn’t necessarily traditional, but it adds both flavor and texture.

INSTRUCTIONS

- Place potato wedges in a large lightly-oiled baking dish (I used this one) and sprinkle with the spice mix. Toss potatoes together briefly to evenly distribute spices.
- In a bowl, whisk together chopped garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and broth. Pour into baking dish with potatoes.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the 400 degree F-heated oven for 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven briefly. Uncover and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the potato wedges. Return to oven uncovered to roast for another 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through and have turned a nice golden brown with a little crust forming.
- If needed, to add more color, you may place the dish under the broiler for 3 minutes or so, watching carefully.
- Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
