Hi Didi... thank you for the kind words!! Euxaristo poli!! :)

I’m sorry, but as a Greek, I would NEVER use lemon from a bottle. It doesn’t matter if the potatoes go in the oven, use fresh lemon juice. Chicken bouillon? That much water? Here’s how we’ve done it for generations in our restaurants in Crete: for at home use 3 lbs potatoes that you peel and quarter lengthwise and then boil for 5-6 minutes. You don’t want them done. Heat your oven in the meantime to 400F. In a big bowl, combine 3 minced garlic cloves, 3/4 cup Greek olive oil, 1/4 cup water, 1 Tbs dried Oregano, 1 tsp. Thyme, pepper, salt and the juice of 1 lemon. Take the pre- boiled potatoes out the water and into the bowl, mix carefully with the olive oil mix. Transfer the potatoes to a lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Turn them over and pierce to check for doneness. Broil for a moment for extra color and done! No MSG, just goodness! Kalí órexi! :)

Thanks for the comment and suggestions...but I am quite happy with the way these potatoes come out and they are the BEST I have tried so far. I don't like thyme, so wouldn't use it, and you cannot taste the difference between fresh and bottled lemon juice when it is roasted for any length of time, at least in my opinion, and I always have bottled lemon juice in the fridge whereas I do not always have fresh lemons on hand. I suggest you try the recipe before you criticize it. They were always in high demand at the restaurant I worked at... and everyone who I have made them for has loved them and my family specifically requests them for potlucks or family dinners. I also did say they are not traditional style...like mom used to make.. but SHE liked my potatoes better than the traditional, so there is that... hahaha... I suggest you try them, once, with fresh lemon, and see what you think. Thanks again and have a lovely day!! Yiassou!!

Yes, there is a place for bottled lemon juice in our fridges… it is NOT a replacement for fresh lemon juice in any raw preparation or as a finish over cooked food, but IN recipes, where it is cooked, it is perfectly fine. It works in the potato recipe, it works in syrups and jams etc. Would I drizzle it over freshly cooked seafood? NO!! hahaha That is what people don’t seem to get.

Thanks again for the lovely comment!! 😊 I don’t have precise amounts of the ingredients, as this is more of a sprinkle enough on kind of thing. But I will try and guesstimate how much I use. 6-8 lg russet potatoes ½-1 tsp Seasoning salt ½ tsp Garlic powder Black pepper, to taste Oregano leaves, a good sprinkle… not too much as it will stain the potatoes 1 Tbsp Chicken soup stock base powder Olive oil - until about ¼-1/2” of oil in the pan Water - enough to come up to just under the top of the potatoes Lemon juice - to taste - I would do about 1 Tbsp to start and adjust up or down the next time you make them. Each person likes more or less lemon in their potatoes. I like it mild, personally. Good luck!! I’d love to hear back when you make them…

This is one of the first ones posted so I didn’t have my crap together… I should edit it, I guess… haha This recipe is an adaptation of the roast potatoes served at a Greek restaurant I worked at. They served the best I had tried up until then… this is my version, and everyone loves them. Enjoy! 6-8 lg russet potatoes Seasoning salt Garlic powder Black pepper Oregano leaves Chicken soup stock base powder Olive oil Water Lemon juice Pick potatoes that are about the same size and shape. You want ones that are relatively smooth. Peel the potatoes and keep in water so they do not brown until ready to assemble the dish. Preheat the oven to 375F. You will need a large roasting pan, similar to a lasagne pan, or big enough to hold all the potatoes in a single layer, cut side down. Place a potato on your cutting board and allow it to come to a rest. This will be on the flatter side. Cut straight down along the length into 2. Place these cut side down in the pan as close together as you can. Continue with the rest of the potatoes. Season the potatoes well with seasoning salt, garlic powder, lightly season with pepper and oregano leaves, that have been rubbed between your palms (the oregano and pepper can ‘stain’ the potatoes). To a large roasting pan, you will need a good handful of the chicken soup base. Now add about ¼ c or more of lemon juice… a good sprinkle will do, but you can adjust to taste. Add at least 1 c of good olive oil, enough to coat the bottom of the pan heavily. Add enough water to almost cover the potatoes, but leaving their ‘humps’ uncovered. Get your hands in there and massage the seasonings into the potatoes, this mixes everything together and spreads everything evenly. Put the potatoes back down so they are on their cut side. Place in the oven and roast for about 45-60 mins, or until the top side is nicely golden and most of the liquid has evaporated. If it looks like it is drying up too much and not golden yet, add a little more hot water and continue to roast. The end result is a nice soft potato on the bottom with a nice crispy top, the best of both worlds. Great hot or room temperature. Kali orexi!!!

Hi Sandra... did I not state a temperature? I am sorry... 375F is what I cook them at. As to the liquid level, depends on the potato, really; some drink it all up, so will leave a little behind. If you do want a little left as a sauce...you can add a little more water if the level drops too low near the end of cooking. It is a pretty forgiving recipe. Enjoy!! :)
