Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Slice the potatoes into wedges or cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrients.

  3. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

  4. Add the potato wedges or cubes to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss them gently until evenly coated with the fragrant herb-infused oil.

  5. Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space around each piece for even baking.

  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender. Remember to flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for uniform cooking.

  7. Once the potatoes are perfectly baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for a zesty kick that complements the earthy flavors of the herbs.

  8. Garnish your Greek Style Baked Potatoes With Oregano with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.

  9. Serve the potatoes hot as a flavorful side dish or a light meal on their own. Pair them with a tangy Greek yogurt dip or a crisp salad for a well-rounded dining experience.
