Roasted Potatoes with Garlic, Lemon, and Oregano

This Mediterranean-inspired side dish brings a vibrant lift to the classic roast potato. By combining zesty lemon juice with fragrant garlic and dried oregano, the potatoes absorb a deep, savoury flavour while roasting to golden perfection. Using a splash of vegetable stock during the cooking process ensures the inside remains fluffy and tender, creating a beautiful contrast with the crisp, herbaceous exterior.

As a versatile vegan recipe, these potatoes are an excellent accompaniment to grilled vegetables, protein-rich mains, or a traditional Sunday roast. They offer a lighter alternative to oil-heavy roasts, with the citrus notes providing a refreshing acidity that cuts through the richness of a meal. For the best results, finish with a handful of fresh oregano just before serving to maximise the aromatic herb flavour.

Ingredients for Roasted Potatoes with Garlic, Lemon, and Oregano

  • 1.4kg baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes

  • 120ml olive oil

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 120ml beef stock or chicken stock

  • 80ml freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

How to make Roasted Potatoes with Garlic, Lemon, and Oregano

Preheat oven to 204°C.

Place the potatoes in a single layer in a 13-x-9-inch baking dish and pour the oil over them. Add the garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste and toss well to coat with the oil.

Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes. Add the stock, toss and bake for 10 minutes more. Add the lemon juice, toss and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the potatoes are cooked through. If you like, preheat the grill and grill the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Sprinkle with the fresh oregano and serve at once.

Dissolve 1 tablespoon tomato paste in the stock, and reduce the amount of lemon juice to taste. Substitute Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for the black pepper.
