My Greek Lemon Garlic Potatoes
"These potatoes are wonderfully browned, delicious and fairly easy to prepare. They seem to compliment most everything we have paired them with. I looked at other Lemon Garlic Potato recipes and none were exactly the same, so I posted these here for safe keeping. If you try them, I surely hope you enjoy them as much as my family and I do!"

The potatoes came out fantastic! I doubled the recipe and everyone loved it. The only change I made was that I cooked the potatoes covered for the first 45 minutes and uncovered for the last 30 minutes.

Loved the crispiness of these, but the liquid burnt black around the potatoes. I used fresh oregano, just a sprinkle of salt, and extra lemon at the table. I am not sure why they burned... -
This recipe has been included in book#246531. Yum! I made these last night and this recipe is delicious. As the reviewer below says, the proportions of the spices are just perfect. Roasting the potatoes with the extra lemon mixture, and not draining it off, made the potatoes really soak in that wonderful lemon flavor. Thanks for posting this keeper! -
These potatoes are so easy and tasted FABULOUS! Be sure you cook them in a big pan as suggested; the very yummiest potatoes are the ones on the bottom that soak in the oil and crisp up. I served these with recipe #221743 and the lemon/garlicky flavors really complimented each other. This recipe goes in my family favorite's book. Thanks for the great recipe! -
Great tasting potatoes! Not much I can add to what has already been said by your previous reviewers. Made using potatoes from our backyard garden. Wonderfully garlicy and the spices just right for our tastes. Thank you - they were absolutely delicious!
