Perfectly Roasted Lemon Greek Potatoes

Bless my husband’s heart, he has been tasting my attempts at Greek roasted potatoes for the past ten years.  Last week, I doled out my latest attempt, took a taste and no lie y’all, I literally had tears in my eyes.  I finally perfected the recipe I had been working on for so long!

Let me give you a little back story…my love affair with Greek food began shortly after high school when I was hired to work in a wine shop owned by a Greek family.  Attached to the wine shop was a fresh fish market (this is in Virginia Beach, right on the water!) and a very nice Greek restaurant.  My boss took me under his wing to teach me not only about wine but also about Greek cuisine.

Later, in graduate school, I worked as a {very bad} waitress at a Greek restaurant in Charleston, SC.  Ohmygoodness, this is where I first fell in love with Greek roasted potatoes.  The family that owned the restaurant guarded their recipes fiercely-no wait staff could go in the kitchen and all the cooks had to sign nondisclosure statements!! So, for the past decade I have been desperately trying to recreate those heavenly potatoes to no avail…that is until last week!

Without further ado-the perfectly roasted, melt in your mouth lemony Greek Potato recipe!!
