Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lb small red potatoes
Seasoning
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 Tbsp Greek seasoning
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 sprigs fresh oregano, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Thoroughly wash the small red potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking and browning.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with olive oil, Greek seasoning, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. Toss everything well to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to promote even roasting and crispiness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for approximately 40 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and golden brown on the edges.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh oregano with dried oregano if fresh is unavailable; use about 1 teaspoon dried.
- Greek seasoning typically contains oregano, garlic, onion, and other herbs – adjust to taste if using a homemade blend.
- For extra crispiness, flip or toss the potatoes halfway through baking.
- This recipe pairs well with grilled meats or a fresh Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
