I was so excited to check my mailbox the other day and find the brand-new cookbook from our friends over at Oh, Sweet Basil. It’s such a beautiful book, full of twists on familiar favorites! I couldn’t wait to try these Lemon Greek Potatoes. I made a couple of minor modifications–I cut back on the salt and added some black pepper. And I was a little nervous about the extra water in the recipe, but the potatoes were crispy and delicious, so don’t be scared!
You’re going to need 5 medium Russet potatoes, olive oil, water, garlic, fresh oregano, salt, black pepper, and the zest and juice of one lemon.
Preheat oven to 425. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil (all the way to the edges) and generously spray the lined cooking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. Scrub the potatoes and cut into 8 wedges each. Place the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the remaining ingredients in a bowl or measuring cup
and whisk them together. Drizzle over the potatoes
and toss gently to combine.
Bake the potatoes for 1 hour and 20 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown. Serve immediately (we like dipping these in tzatziki or this feta and dill dressing).
