- Is it the lemony tang, the crisp edges, the slathering of extra virgin olive oil or the ton of Greek oregano that makes these Greek lemon potatoes irresistible? You tell me, but I know they are perfect for any family gathering super easy to master and universally loved. Serve them with any roast meat or poultry because they can be cooked at about any temperature and need little supervision. If you cover them, they will more tender and less crisp. FULL RECIPE BELOW
RECIPE: GREEK LEMON POTATOES
Ingredients:
Grated zest of and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (50 ml)
1/4 cup water (50 ml)
1 tsp. dried Greek oregano (5 ml)
6 medium baking or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut in half
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
fresh chopped parsley and marjoram, for garnish, optional
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, water, and oregano in a small bowl to blend. Toss potatoes with lemon, oil mixture in a small roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper. Roast potatoes at 375 D until tender and golden brown, turning occasionally, about 35-45 minutes. Using metal spatula, loosen potatoes from roasting pan to prevent sticking. If you prefer them soft, then cover the pan to steam and keep in moisture. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes for them to absorb the rest of the olive oil in the pan.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serves 6

We had Greek neighbors where I grew up, they ran a coney island restaurant in Detroit. We had small yards but they grew amazing amounts of red peppers, tomatoes and figs. In the fall, they made wine which was pink and delicious. My bedroom window faced their house and when the husband would come home from the restaurant - always at night - Olga would make him dinner and play the Greek radio station full blast. It kept me awake, but it's how I came to like Greek music. I'll let you know how the potatoes turn out. Yassas.
How were the potatoes?
@@zachX6452 Delish.
♥️♥️♥️🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷♥️🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨👍👍👍
@@zachX6452 Excellent!
Which Coney Island did they own?
I’m not Greek myself but I consider them my family (actually they consider me their family) as my Greek friends always invite me to gatherings and make sure I’m part of their life too. I’m from Pakistan, God bless them for showing abundance of love for others.
Greeks love all the people of the world 🌍
@@MrMangoman48 I’m Greek and no they don’t lol
@@A2Z_Flock well damn😂🤣
Windex!
@@Cosmic__Chris happy to see this comment lol, good day to you sir!
I lived in Greece for 13 years, the food was simple, delicious & nutritious.
Isn’t it amazing how good food brings people together ? The lady exudes not just wholesomeness and authenticity but the unique joi de vivre of happy families.
Agreed, she seems a lovely person.
Μπράβο για την προσπάθεια σου και μόνο.
@@stankakosteli1950 I agree. This is the first time I have seen her video and I love her warmth, humility and personality.
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Carl Emory instablaster =)
I’m Polish and we eat a lot of potatoes . This kind is just perfect!. Thank you
I'm Greek living in Greece and I love when people (either Greek like Christine or not) who cook and present greek recipes focus on the core of the greek cuisine: simplicity and quality. Well done, Christine!
Those "greek lemon potatoes" (in Greece we usually call them "oven potatoes") are a super traditional recipe, which usually accompanies roast chicken, lamb, goat, beef or pork steaks, biftekia (kind of greek burgers) etc. Extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and oregano of good quality are the three basic ingredients for this recipe.
Organic lemon zest is an extra ingredient which gives the dish a wonderful lemon flavor. Personally, when I cook "lemon potatoes", I also add one or two garlic cloves and some orange juice. Other people add a bit of mustard or additional herbs apart from oregano.
One could experiment with those extra ingredients to see what suits their personal taste. But, when cooking greek recipes, never forget: simplicity and quality!
Yia sou Petro. Thanks so much. It’s so true about Greek cuisine. It’s always been my mission to really pay tribute to our delicious food and share with the world how important the quality of ingredients is. Kali xronia !
This is a Mediterranean dish... I also very common in Portugal, Spain and Italy.
This lemon, olive oil garlic combo is so good, we call it "salmoriglio". Some variations include salt, oregano, mint, parsley, pepper... It's an accident recipe originated in Sicilia and went popular in Mediterranean cultures many centuries ago, it can be used as a dressing or a marinade.
Thank u for that.
Thank u for that.
Thank u for that.
This reminded me of cooking with a Greek friend. More olive oil, more lemon is what she would say. Loved them, and now it’s time to make them again. Thanks.
Lovely voice. Marvelous energy. Clear instructions. A marvelous delight to watch and then execute.
Thank you!
You are welcome. Thank you
I'm not Greek but love Greek food and that looks like a perfect amount of oregano to me. I tried Greek oregano ONCE and haven't used another since. I grow my own now. It just smells so beautiful.
Me too!!!!
Looks delicious, will try. She sure ain’t kidding about the talking, it’s a bit much. Next time I’ll turn down the volume.
I think I will make this with salmon tonight.
OK, I made it. So here are a few observations;
1: Be sure the potatoes are fully cooked first.
2. It takes some time to get the proper browning in the oven. A little higher oven temperature might be helpful.
3. Don't start the salmon until you see browning on the potatoes - salmon does not take a long time to cook. Nor the asparagus that I added for greens.
4. Be generous with the olive oil and lemon and the oregano - there will be some left in the pan - keep it for toast tomorrow morning - YUM!!
All in all - delicious!! I will make this again. Thanks Christine!
Based on this video I want this woman to adopt me, I am only 52. 10/10 for this.
I actually followed this recipe but did it in an air fryer they turned out wonderful.
🙂🙂🙂🙂🤗🤗🤗🤗
Me too!!! I’ve been following her for god knows how long and I’m just NOW starting to do the recipes lol!
You can also use Tsumack spice which is a lemony herb found in the Mediterranean if you don’t have lemons or in addition to. I tried it that way at a Greek restaurant in NY
I’m with you. Christine is an amazing talented chef.
Cooked today . Not only the best greek potatoes but one of the best baked potatoes . I”m Portuguese so I have a garden with lemons and herbs and when you have this bless what can go wrong with a great recipe like that ? Try and enjoy it ‘ s delicious
OmG. I have always wanted a lemon tree ! You lemon potatoes will be the best ! Thank you
You're so fun to watch, and these potatoes look scrumptious. Happy to have found your channel. God Bless!
I remember watching her cooking show many years ago I enjoyed it and her sense of humor, lovely lady...🌷🌷🌹🌹🌷🌺👋👋
Thank you so much. Glad you found my channel
I am so glad that I found you. I used to watch you on the Food Network in the early 2000’s. Thank you for continuing to show us how to cook.
Glad you found my channel too ! Thank you
OMG, I just finished eating these. I am just sitting here in amazement at how good they were. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
It’s so hard to resist them. And you think how good can lemon potatoes and olive oil be ? Thanks
I love the energy and aura of this delightful person. She is a soul mate I feel 😊
Will definitely be making this! Perfect recipe for me - short, simple and looks like it tastes great. Thanks!
...that's a pretty good attribute for a Greek Pierogi!...mash the lemon roasted potatoes,add some feta cheese,insert into a yogurt dough pocket,..pinch.boil.serve...perfect comfort food,
thanks Christine!
Thank you Ms Cushing. I made a moussaka according to your father's instructions yesterday. It was perfect. Vegetables in England tend to be 'watery', but your father's trick of baking the vegetable components ensured that all was rich, scented and utterly Hellenic! Thank you again. Best wishes Philip
That is amazing to hear. Yes that excessive water in veggies only takes away from flavour. So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
That was a mouth-waterer! Ευχαριστώ!
What I like most about this video is the "homey" feel. I feel like I am watching my mother or grandmother cooking for me and my sisters. Not flashy and not a lot of gimmicks. :) I love love how clear your pronunciation and easy to understand words (especially for non-native English speaker like me). I am an instant fan! :)
Sky Rob thank you so much.! Glad you enjoy spending some time with me in the kitchen
Such a classic Greek dish. Thank you for sharing. It brings back terrific memories of my first boyfriend (Dimitrios... God rest his soul). His mother, Sophia, taught me how to make these. To this day, they're in my cooking rotation.
What happen?
@@jayc1632 He was exposed to a rare, airborne fungus, while in Canada. By the time he was diagnosed (back in the U.S.), his condition was no longer treatable and he passed away from Blastomycosis.
I've been making these for a few years Another adorable video tutorial from you, great to know I'm doing it right. I love this way of doing potatoes Thankyou X
My father's family is Greek and I know this receipe and I love it! And you're right: Rigani is the best from Greek!
Nicely done, Christina! Those are my favorite. I agree about the Yukon Gold.
Christine cooks from her heart and always with her smarts. Listen and Learn
20 years ago as a teenager going into culinary arts I had the biggest hots for Christine Cushing I think on the food network, I’m glad she still makes cooking videos. Beautiful chef

Wow Christine! These look amazing - I could practically taste them 😋
And so easy even I could do them, and I will. Thank you for sharing 👏🏻🇬🇧
You are so welcome!
I love lemons since I was a little kid, stealing slices from my Dad as he made lemonade. Then I met Alex the Greek and went to Greece many times on vacation to meet the family. His Mom was a wonderful person and cook. We made many dishes side by side. (This was one) I learned a lot. Thank you Afroula RIP. My daughters request every birthday is Moussaka. : )
You are good. I love it. And thank you for showing this. Missed doing them. I tried sweet potatoes with the same way.. nice result too.
I'm definitely making this tonight with my lamb chops and my lamb chops have the same Herbs on it, as well the oregano and the thyme, you can't go wrong cooking with olive oil and garlic. And now I'm going to try the lemon potatoes thank you!
I wanted lemon potatoes but could not remember the recipe. Had a friend that was Greek and made some about 30 years ago. All I could remember was it was easy and tasted so good. Now I know how to make it. Thank you!
Amazing!!! My parents moved to Crete years ago, and I absolutely loved the food that the local people ate - had something very similar, but I will be doing these on Sunday with roast lamb....awesome!
Omg theses turned out so delish. They were a hit with my family. Thank you
So great to hear !!
Another one of my favorite Greek dishes.
Paul Kline spoiler alert .. mine too. Thank you for watching
👍
👍
Absolutely love this recipe thanks.
I just now found your videos. As I'm sitting here with my morning coffee, I'm drooling. I noticed this is really not so different from Sicilian cooking. Love it..thank you much.
gina, Sicily was colonized by Greeks back in the BCE days.
great outcome.. delicious... just a couple of minor comments... being Greek, I use more olive oil and lemon... and a tip... Cover the pan with aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes so the "sauce" doesn't evaporate...then remove the foil and heat for another 10-15 minutes to get the crispiness, while you preserve the "sauce" for some fresh bread dipping.... that's the original Greek way... good luck from Athens
@Françoise J you're welcome
I use a covered roasting pan like my Yiayia used.

Tried these a few years ago in Tarpon Springs Florida, loved them, not seen or heard of them since returning to the UK, now I can try them again. Thank you.
Andrew Humphrys Tarpon Springs has such great Greek food OMG ! Hope you make them back in the UK
@@ChristineCushing Certainly will.
Glad to know I am not alone eating potatoes with lemon. When I was pregnant with my first child. I craved baked potatoes with lemon. I think I would pour a half bottle of real lemon juice.
I saw this recipe, and wanted to try it right away. I had no lemon juice, so substituted white wine vinegar. It worked fine. Delicious!
Made these yesterday, family loved them, they want them again! Must have done something right.
Michael Doyle you gotta give the people what they want Lol. Good job and thanks for watching
Oh I just found a way to use some of those extra lemons! Thank you looks delicious!
Perfect ! Thanks for watching
Brilliant so scrumptious.
Those potatoes look SUBLIME !!!!!......I can't wait to try this recipe. THANK YOU !
Best addictive food that I can eat every day 😊😊🙌🙌🙌🙌
These look great! I love the lemon Juicer! I want one, its awesome!
Thank you . It's a brand called " Chef'n" I LOVE it!
Lovely - imperfectly perfect.
We went to a birthday party at a greek restaurant and they served these potatoes. It was the first time my kids had them and loved them.Of course from then on they wanted me to make them all the time. A true family favorite.

This looks amazing! I'm so excited I stumbled on this recipe, I have all 3 of these things in the garden right now! great video, thanks for sharing this cool recipe
It was meant to be!
What a joy to watch you cook I used to watch all the time on tv ❤
I followed instructions and I’m very happy with taste ,it really taste like Mediterranean 🥰olive oil ,lemon and good salad with those delicious potatoes ! Very tasty .
Oregano is one of the best spices you can use with EVERYTHING. Loved this budget recipe, delivered with love. XOXO
It's so true. We are obsessed !
“Perfection is overrating” ... true
I just had my dinner and seeing those potatoes come out of the oven made the juices flow all over again. They look sooooo good. I shall definitely try these.
Sorry ! But not really.
What a great woman, not pretentious at all. Never even considered combining potatoes with lemons, but her recipe looked so great I will try this today.
Love these. I'm Greek too! I make them the same way, but I also grate garlic too! Gotta have my garlic!!🤣🤣
I'm part Greek as well like the Garlic addition but I add parsley to be oregano's friend 😉
I'm not greek I'm British but greek is probably my favourite cuisine I have to try this dish I love all the ingredients.
Yum!
I love these recipes I'm Greek too and it's so nice to see these visually just in case I forget what I have to do next.
I love greek food so yummy
I will make a pan of these and try one. Then I will go back 10 times and by the time it is suppertime I don't have any potatoes for supper! Hahaha
I am just tasting them 😂
Tried this recipe and it’s yummy. I’m making it again today and going to share some with my friends across the street. Thanks for sharing and it’s so simple.
I just made these tonight and they were a huge winner for my family. Everyone loved it. So simple, yet so flavourful. Beats the greek potatoes I was eating at restaurants. Just delicious.
Now I know I’m losing it! I want those potatoes now! Lol 😂
I just made these! Delicious indeed!
Christine, I stumbled into your channel and got addicted. Please, often when you are talking and cooking we don’t see what you are doing, please camera down or more distance so we can see all. Please. You are also very beautiful, fun, intelligent, witty and cook like a 5 stars Michelin chef. You remind me the cooking on my Portuguese grandmom...
Thank you so much ! Yes the camera will be further back so you can see from now on. Thank you
This is the best Greek Lemon Potato recipe on RUclips
Many thanks 👏👏😀🇬🇷
I'm not greek just grew up with them so I fell in love with the food. Lemonia patatas truly amazing I like mine the same way too.
Oh, that face, when you took a bite! Priceless!
Addition of garlic and semolina is what I use in my Greek lemony potatoes. The semolina sprinkled over the last 15 mins is an accelerant to the crispiness
Good idea, thanks.
How much semolina do you use? I'm gluten sensitive so must substitute for the semolina.
@@deepattison9329 A tablespoon
