Sharing is caring!

These Greek Lemon Roasted Potatoes are a perfect crispy side or a starter for parties with a delicious lemon flavour.

The name itself makes me drool and when I saw this recipe here, I immediately shortlisted it. What would be more good than having some crisp potatoes that are roasted completely in the oven and with a kick of Lemon? Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I know you are drooling!!

Type of Potatoes used

Try to use the starchy kind of potatoes to get that perfect crispy texture. Maris Piper is the ideal one for this.

Semolina or Rice Flour for Crispier Potatoes

The other secret to getting it crisp is the addition of semolina. Adding Semolina adds the crunch to it, but if you want you can skip it completely to make it gluten-free, replace it with rice flour, as I added in my recipe for Spicy and Sweet Baked Cauliflower Wings . Maybe next time I will try with Rice flour and update the recipe here.

There is no need to parboil them but if you want you can do it. I like to have less work and especially when I know the results can be achieved without adding the extra step. So I added them straight in the oven, instead of parboiling or letting them sit in cold water for some time. Just cut the potatoes into wedges, add the lemon sauce mixture and bake them in the oven for 45-60 minutes. Do not be afraid if you overbake them as they would be crunchier and taste the best.

Keep an eye after 35-45 minutes, as all ovens are different. I removed my wedges after 60 minutes as some of them were turning black on the edges, but I must have let the other also cook till then as the one’s turned black on the edges were the crispiest and the yummiest. This can be enjoyed as is or as a side to your main meals.
