Greek Lemon Potatoes (Patates Lemonates)
Flavor packed, delicious and melt in your mouth potatoes right here.
Eat like a Greek with these yummy garlicky lemony roasted potatoes. Another recipe I grew up eating my yiayia and mom made these ALL THE TIME with chicken, veal, or just on their own. I could literally eat the whole tray if left unsupervised.
These are super simple to make, with only a few ingredients you probably have on hand right now. The flavor is super present with the garlic and lemon and oregano.
Serves perfect with my Baked Lemon Garlic Chicken Breasts or my Creamy Lemon Chicken Breasts.

Hi there, I live in Botswana and it is very hot here. Made these last night to go with chicken kebobs on the braai ( barbecue) very good flavour and so easy to do. The family really enjoyed them. Thank you
Tried quite a few Greek potato recipes but I always come back to this one. Has all the flavours I really love and so easy to prepare. Satisfies my Greek husband’s palate too!

Hi Christine, Awesome! Glad the family enjoyed and thanks for the kind rating!
love to make them…
Bravo!!!
This recipe is amazing! I had to adjust the cook times slightly after some trial and error, and reduced the lemon juice to just half a lemon as the consensus in our household was that they prefer less, and these are now an almost daily side dish to our dinners! I’ve been looking for a lemon potato recipe for years and am so glad to have come across this one.
