Tips from leigh Anne

I cooked my Greek lemon potatoes in a ceramic 9 x 13 pam but I highly recommend using a disposable aluminum foil pan because your dish ends up getting pretty dark and black! Clean up is much easier when you can just throw the pan away.
The potatoes bake for about 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 hours so plan ahead. They also need to be stirred every 20 minutes so plan on being around as they bake.
All the liquid should be absorbed by the last 20 minutes of baking time. It is gone before that, add in some additional chicken broth.

How To Make Greek Lemon Potatoes

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
Cut potatoes in half or into quarters depending on size of potatoes. You want them bite size.

Place cut potatoes in 9 x 13 pan (foil pan recommended)
Mix together chicken broth, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, pepper and garlic.

mixing up lemon broth for greek potatoes

Pour mixture over potatoes. There will be a lot of liquid but don’t worry, it will all absorb.

Bake uncovered at 450 degrees F for 1.5 hours, stirring every 20 minutes as they bake.

Add more liquid if needed the last 20 minutes.( I didn’t have to)
Liquid will evaporate the final 20 minutes or so. If liquid evaporates sooner add in some additional chicken broth but all the liquid should be absorbed by the end of the baking period. Potatoes will be fork tender.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
