Greek Potatoes (Oven-Roasted and Delicious!)

Recipe #87782 | 1½ hours | 10 min prep | add private note

These potatoes are a staple in our home. Whether accompanying roast lamb or chicken, or just on their own, we have them a couple of times a week. They are delicious and the ones that get overly-brown in the pan and stick a bit are MINE! Clean up is a little tricky with this recipe, unless you line your pans with foil, but I find that just filling the pan up with hot, sudsy water and forgetting for an hour (something I apparently have no problem doing ) helps a lot.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 440°F A reviewer has suggested spraying the baking pan with Pam - that sounds like a great idea!
  2. 2
    Put all the ingredients into a baking pan large enough to hold them.
  3. 3
    Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
  4. 4
    Make sure your hands are very clean and put them in the pan and give everything a toss to distribute.
  5. 5
    The garlic will drop into the water/oil solution but its flavour will permeate the potatoes, and this way, it won't burn.
  6. 6
    Bake for 40 minutes.
  7. 7
    When a nice golden-brown crust has formed on the potatoes, give them a stir to bring the white underside up, season lightly with a bit more sea salt and pepper and just a light sprinkling of oregano.
  8. 8
    Add 1/2 cup more water if pan appears to be getting dry, and pop back into oven to brown other side of potatoes.
  9. 9
    This will take about another 40 minutes.
  10. 10
    Do not be afraid of overcooking the potatoes- they will be delicious.
  11. 11
    Note: I often melt a bouillon cube in the water; if you do, make sure to cut back some on the salt.

Perfect Greek potatoes, My late, adopted Yiayia would have pinched my cheeks silly, saying Koukla, Koukla!!! Delicious! I have been looking for new ways to make potatoes, but thought I could never make them to taste like Yiayia's. I made exactly as posted, except I did not have Greek oregano. Next, the succulent leg of lamb. Thank you so much evelyn/athens...

    Good potatoes. Just be sure to use the same size potatoes and cut the into the same size wedges. Some of mine were burned and not good. Served with "oopah!" Feta Chicken Breasts and Kittencal's Famous Greek Salad.

    You bet these are delicious! Loved them and they look great too.. my potatoes were a bit smaller so it only took one hour. Very easy to do recipe. I got the potatoes ready earlier in the day and marinated them in the oil/water/lemon mixture. Thanks for a do again & again recipe Eveltn

    I have made these twice and am just now getting around to reviewing. They are fabulous! Everyone loved these and they could not be much easier to make. The recipe is very forgiving too - first time I baked for stated amount of time and second time dinner ran late so they cooked about 20 minutes longer. Both were great! Be sure to use fresh garlic in these
