Creamy, lemony Greek potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes of all time! Baked in a rich and flavorful liquid made from chicken broth, lemon juice, and olive oil, they are so fluffy inside and they still manage to get a little browned on the outside. I can’t get enough of these tasty potato wedges!
Pin this recipe for later!
The first time I tasted Greek potatoes, I was amazed at how creamy and flavorful they were. I just knew I had to try to replicate them at home, and after lots of research, I discovered that the secret was that they were simmered in a rich broth in the oven. This infuses them with so much flavor, and it’s a technique I had a lot of fun learning.
Tips for Beginners
- Cut the potatoes into equally-sized wedges so they cook at the same rate.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan, or the potatoes will simply steam. Give them a bit of space for air circulation to allow them to brown properly.
- These potatoes will not be super crispy, no matter how hard you try. They are cooked in a lot of liquid, so expect them to be super creamy on the inside and slightly browned on the outside.

- Roast the potatoes for 30 minutes, toss, and roast for another 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. If they are not browned by the end of cooking, broil for 2-3 minutes.

How to Make Greek Potatoes Step by Step
Mix the Broth: Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk ½ cup of low-sodium chicken broth, ½ cup of olive oil, ½ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
Cover the Potatoes: Place 3 pounds of large Yukon Gold potatoes cut into wedges on a rimmed sheet pan and pour the chicken broth mixture over top. Toss to combine.
Roast the Potatoes: Roast the potatoes for 30 minutes, toss, and roast for another 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. If they are not browned by the end of cooking, broil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss with 1 tablespoon of roughly chopped fresh oregano until slightly wilted. Transfer to your serving platter and top with ½ cup of crumbled feta before serving.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover Greek potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
These Greek potatoes are a great side for my Greek chicken . The similar flavor profiles play really well together. I love them with a classic rack of lamb , too. Their bright flavor really balances well with the yogurt sauce. As a bonus, I have found that they also make a great appetizer or snack dipped in creamy tzatziki !

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
