Oven Roasted Greek Potatoes – new potatoes tossed in olive oil, Greek seasoning and lemon. These potatoes are SO good! Only takes a minute to toss together. Everyone raves about them!
I made these potatoes to go with our Lemon-Oregano Drumsticks. I wanted a quick and easy side dish and this fit the bill. I was inspired by the potatoes at Taziki’s Restaurant in town – these were extremely similar. They take only a few minutes of prep time and then they just roast in the oven. Very simple! The result is a tender and flavorful potato. They went perfectly with our Greek-style drumsticks.

Ok what's in Greek seasoning?
Salt, garlic, oregano, maybe some lemon zest
Those potatoes look so good, I especially want that burned looking one in the front.
Chris – I would have added feta, but I didn't have any.
Roasted potatoes are one of the favorites of our family. The standard one is rosemary garlic, we love it. But your Greek one sounds so very good. I might accidentally spill a little feta on them.
I am trying this recipe this week.
Those are absolutely the most perfect looking roasted potatoes….crisp but not burnt! My mouth is watering.

Your potatoes look so delicious. The crunchy outside and soft inside. These would be perfect with my grilled T-bone. Yum.
Thanks for the recipe. I get stuck on doing the same ol thing everytime.
The Greek seasoning is new to me too, but I can't imagine that's not fantastic on roasted potatoes. Will definitely be trying this one.
Love oven roasted potatoes and will give the Greek seasoning with lemon a try. Thanks!
When I read yesterdays post, I did a search for the potatoes, so I'm glad you posted it today. As a big fan of Greek flavors, I can only imagine this meal was delicious, but I'll try it soon.
