Step by step instructions to Make Perfect Roasted Greek Potatoes with Lemon and Garlic:

These simmered potatoes just expect about an hour to get ready and cook and are wonderful to make while dealing with different dishes. When you get them cut and covered, you simply pop them in the broiler and allow them to do the entirety of the work!

This is the way to make totally delicate, somewhat crunchy, and tasty broiler cooked Lemon-Garlic Greek Potatoes:

To start with, preheat the stove to 400 degrees F. Prep the cleaned and dried potatoes by slicing down the middle and setting them in a huge baking dish.

Expert TIP: If you need every one of the slice sides to have crispy caramelization, begin each of the potatoes cut-side-down and complete them cut-side-up. This has no impact on flavor or surface… It simply makes them look pretty.

Then, shower the olive oil over the highest point of the potatoes. Then, at that point, add the lemon zing, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Throw the potatoes to completely cover in the flavoring.

Pour the fresh lemon juice and vegetable or chicken broth in the side of the pan, being very careful not to “wash” the seasoning off of the potatoes.

Roast the Greek potatoes for 30 minutes in the oven.

Carefully flip the potatoes, and place them back in the oven until they are fork-tender and the skin starts to crisp.

Once done, toss the potatoes in the glaze remaining in the baking dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
