Greek Lemon Potatoes
One of the platters I traditionally order at the Greek festivals is the lemon roasted chicken served with Greek lemon potatoes, braised green beans, and dolmades. It is so good. The food is a big plate of warmth and comfort.
My quarterly Pomora olive oil came in! This is a food bloggers dream to have such an amazing package of high end olive oil delivered to your door! When I received my quarterly Pomora Olive Oil shipment in the mail, I wanted to create something special with the olive oil. These tasty Greek lemon potatoes were the perfect dish.

Greek lemon potatoes are thick, moist potato wedges that are soft on the inside and a little crispy on the outside. The lemon flavor makes the potatoes taste OUTRAGEOUS! Honestly, I make these for dinner parties all of the time because my guests go crazy over them.

- Dice them up and turn them into hash browns for breakfast the next day. Cook them a few minutes in a little oil until the outsides are crispy. They will be great!
- Drizzle a little olive oil on a baking sheet and reheat them at 400 for about 10 minutes. They will crisp back up.
- Cut them into bite sizes and use them in a potato salad.
- Dice them up and add them to a breakfast quiche or breakfast burrito.

My Greek grandmother just turned over in her grave. Greeks only use Greek olive oil to make lemon potatoes (lemoni patatas). Your dish still looks lovelyā¦:).

Love lemon potatoes! There’s a local restaurant that does a great version but, of course, they’re always better at home š Bet these would not only be lovely for dinner, but also for breakfast with eggs (and lots of coffee). Have a great weekend, Katie! P.S. How neat to try different olive oils?? So fun!

Those look delicious and perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They look so perfectly golden and just the right amount of crispy!
