Roasted Greek Potatoes

August 6, 2012 by Faith 24 Comments

Roasted Greek Potatoes are an easy and delicious side dish that pairs well with just about anything.

Roasted Greek Potatoes 1

I’d say Greek potatoes are my favorite Greek food, but then I remember gyros (or even kebab meatballs served gyro-style…mmm)…and saganaki…and spanakopita. I want it all, lol. But, I will say, every time Mike and I eat at a Greek restaurant we order a side of roasted potatoes to share and never get sick of them.

They’re the perfect side dish. They pair well with just about anything, not because they’re bland, but because their flavor is bright and fresh without being too overwhelming. In addition to lemon (both juice and zest), I like to flavor mine with a trio of dried herbs: oregano, mint, and thyme. I use dried herbs because that’s what I always keep stocked, but fresh will also work (just increase the amount to 1 tablespoon each for fresh herb you use).

(By the way, these were the potatoes I made a while ago for my Lamb Feast!)

    Yes, roasted potatoes Greek style are present with every Greek oven-baked meat and they taste deliciously, just like these ones!

    I don’t remember eating this when I was in Greece, but I’m sure going to try them now. Mint and lemons make all the difference. Easy to make and what a super side with any grilled meat.

    I’m now imagining those spices on all sorts of things, like crunchy roasted chickpeas, or baked pita chips… Yum! One good seasoning blend can go a long way.
