Substitutions and Variations

  • Toss some grated parmesan or feta crumbles on top of the Greek potatoes for the last few minutes of roasting to take this dish over the top.
  • Instead of Greek seasoning try Italian seasoning.
  • Instead of a seasoning blend, use oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • For a vegetarian dish, use vegetable broth.

How to Make Greek Potatoes

Wash and cut the potatoes in half or quarters. Add them to a large mixing bowl with olive oil, broth, fresh lemon juice and zest, seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to the potatoes. Toss to combine, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.

Potatoes cut into quarter in a glass bowl with seasonings.

Transfer to baking sheet and spread out in an even single layer. Bake for 40 minutes at 425°F flipping halfway.
