Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3 1/2 pounds potatoes (7 large Yukon Gold potatoes)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • Lemon juice (of 2 lemons)
  • 1 teaspoon semolina
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400F.

  • Step 2: Cut the potatoes into wedges and place them on a large metal roasting pan. Into a bowl add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine; pour the semolina-lemon mixture over the potatoes and season well with salt and pepper.

  • Step 3: Bake for 40 minutes, until a nice golden crust has formed on the potatoes; remove from oven and turn potatoes over, sprinkling with an additional pinch of oregano.

  • Step 4: Return to the oven for another 30-40 minutes. If all of the liquid gets been absorbed and the pan appears to be getting dry, add 1/4-1/2 of a cup hot water into the pan or some extra lemon mixture, before they have fully browned.

  • The secret for these extra crispy Greek lemon potatoes is the semolina, as it helps to form a nice golden crust around them. Don’t be afraid of over baking them- they will become even more delicious!
