Lemon-Herb Roasted Greek Potatoes (Patates Lemonates)

Bring the flavors of the Greek islands to your holiday plate with these vibrant Greek-Style Roasted Potatoes. This dish is incredibly simple to prepare and a staple at Greek celebrations – iconic for its robust, comforting flavors.

We start with our perfectly cooked Seasoned Potatoes, tossed generously in fragrant olive oil and a generous blend of traditional Mediterranean herbs including fresh oregano and aromatic rosemary. The key to their authentic taste is a bright infusion of freshly squeezed lemon juice and fragrant lemon zest coming together to create a slightly tangy crust as they roast. Seasoned simply with salt and pepper, these potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender within. Serve with a dollop of cool, creamy tzatziki for potatoes that are guaranteed to be the most flavorful you’ve ever had on your holiday table!
