These Greek Lemon Roast Potatoes are crisp on the outside, soft inside and packed with Mediterranean flavour from Greek Odyssey seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1kg Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes

- 1½ tbsp Greek Odyssey seasoning
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 150ml hot vegetable or chicken stock
- Fresh oregano or parsley (optional)
Directions
Preparation
Gather all of your ingredients
Parboil
Preheat oven to 220°C.
Peel and cut potatoes into large chunks.
Parboil in salted water for 8–10 minutes until edges soften.
Drain and allow to steam dry for 5 minutes.
Shake gently in the pan to rough up the edges.
Build the Flavour
Add olive oil, Greek Odyssey seasoning and garlic to a large roasting tray.
Add potatoes and toss well to coat.
Spread in a single layer.
Roast
Roast for 25 minutes.
Pour in hot stock and lemon juice carefully around the potatoes.
Return to oven for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp.
What to Look For at the Finish
The potatoes should have deep golden, crisp edges with soft fluffy centres. The tray liquid should reduce and lightly glaze the base of the potatoes rather than leave them soggy. The lemon aroma should be fresh and noticeable without being sharp.
Serving Suggestions
Serve alongside pork gyros, roast chicken or grilled lamb koftas. Also works as part of a Mediterranean sharing platter with tzatziki and flatbreads.
