Cooking for a family of five involves a lot of cooking and baking and it is sometimes difficult to please them all. A winner dish in my family is patates lemonates sto fourno, which is a side dish you can serve both with meat of fish and some people even love it as a main dish with a salad, especially during lent.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour +
Ingredients:
- 5 – 6 large potatoes
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 cup of olive oil
- ½ cup of lemon juice SaltPepper
- 2 glasses of water
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Peel and cut the potatoes in the middle and then cut each half into three or more wedges, depending on the size of the potatoes, about 2 cm thick. Place potatoes in one layer in a shallow roasting pan and sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano and toss them to do the same on the other side, add the olive oil, the lemon juice and the water in the gaps so that the seasoning is not washed away.
Bake uncovered for about 1 hour depending on your oven, turning once when they are golden brown and continue baking until they are golden and soft. In between you may add a little bit of oil and water if they are not done. When they are done the water must be absorbed by the potatoes and remain with just a little olive oil.

Where would us Greeks be without lemon potatoes. Simply one of the best side dishes to a roast…I’m glad you gave your version of this Ivy…
This looks fantastic, never thought of adding water before putting potatoes in the oven… potatoes are the best, really!
I have had lemon potatoes at Greek restaurants but I’ve never actually made them myself. I should give them a try because R finds potatoes too bland.
Definitely one of the best side dishes there are Ivy. I just love them and so does everyone else I know! I make mine with a little chicken broth (well, not during lent obviously). What can I say, I love me some salty-chickeniness. lol
I love all these potato dishes sis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are tempting me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lemon roasted potatoes! Ivy, I am drooling here. If my addled brain can remember to do so, I would like to make this and your parchment fish when I am back in my kitchen. (Can’t bookmark anything – I’m on my brother’s computer.)
Im not the biggest potato fan , but I have always liked them like this raosted with that lemom flavor. Wonderful.
Very interesting,loved the idea of lemon added to potatoes…
Lovely! Unlike Courtney, I am the biggest potato fan
