Greek Lemon Potatoes
These Greek Lemon Potatoes are full of amazing lemon flavors, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Easy to make with simple ingredients, delicious and perfect for lunch, dinner, or parties. Naturally vegan.
This recipe is not a fast recipe: it takes some time to bake the potatoes to crispy perfection. But the time invest is totally worth everything in my book.
And still, the steps themselves are super easy.
In general, Mediterranean food is among my favorites, like with this Mujadara, the Italian Pasta Salad or my homemade Spaghetti Sauce.
Why these are the best Greek Lemon Potatoes
For me this is truly the best method to make Greek potatoes and I tested it back and forth.
I also find one ingredient which makes everything more delicious and that is poultry seasoning (which is still totally vegan).
Ingredients are pantry staples that you definitely have on hand and give you a result that is so amazing.
I'll show you step by step by pictures so you know you can get perfect texture and flavor whenever you want it.

How to make Greek Lemon Potatoes

Tips and tricks
I usually say that leftovers of my recipes can be stored, but with these baked potatoes I don't recommend it at all. Same for freezing. These Greek Lemon Potatoes are most enjoyable fresh.
Use quality ingredients: fresh lemons, good olive oil, vegetable broth and great potatoes for baking like russets.
Use fresh oregano instead of parsley, if you like.

Would there be a good substitute for poultry seasoning?
Hi Chelsey! Yes, you can but the result will be different. Try a mix from dried sage, parsley, rosemary and thyme. Good luck and let me know how it works. I'm excited to hear about your experience.
Hi,
I love these potatoes - delicious and easy. I am going away and was wondering if I could make them the day before and reheat when we get to our rental place??
Thanks,
Jessica

Hi Lea! These are one of my favorites. Let me know what you think, enjoy. 😋
Hi Florian. These sound wonderful. But I have no idea (in the UK) what poultry seasoning is. Could you describe its ingredients please? Many thanks.

Hi Lesly! It is a seasoning made from rosemary, thyme, sage, black pepper, nutmeg and marjoram. Hope that helps.
Hi
Do u serve with sour cream? Thank u
Hi Stephanye! You absolutely can, but I find it most amazing with dairy free tzatziki. Hope that helps.
Greek lemon potatoes.
Hello what temperature would it be for a fan assisted oven? In centigrade.
Hi Margaret! It is precisely 200 celsius. Hope that clarifies and helps.
I know the type of potato makes a difference in a recipe. What kind do you suggest?
Hi Gay! I find russet potatoes best. Hope that helps.
When you flip the potatoes half way through do you put the foil back on the tin or leave it off ?
Hi Audrey! I'm not using any foil. Hope that clarifies and helps.
Love this way of cooking potatoes. Definitely will try
Thanks, Doris and let me know what you think.
Made this dish tonight, it was absolutely delicious 😋. Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely make this again.
Hello! How do you make the dipping sauce? Or am i missing it somewhere on the page? Thank you so much -
Hi Jenny! There isn't absolutely no need for a dipping sauce. The sauce that you see in the pictures is my tzatziki sauce. 😊 Hope that clarifies.
Made these for my Greek guy who’s always talking about lemon potatoes! So I finally found a decent recipe to try and they were easy to make, more importantly, he LOVED them!
Thanks for making it, Belenda!
Tasty even without poultry seasoning! Well done!
Hi Elizabeth! Thanks for your great feedback. Would you mind leaving a star rating with your review? Your experience is so helpful for other readers. Thanks a lot.
Hi, were these supposed to finish more dry and crunchy or wet and soft? Mine browned up nicely, but still had quite a bit of liquid and were quite soft so I definitely couldn't have dipped them in anything. They were delicious though!
Hi There! These are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.It is truly the perfect and delicious mix of both.
