Greek Style Lemon Roasted Potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to any meal. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh dill give these potatoes a zingy and satisfying taste that lingers on your tongue for hours.
I have had a craving for Greek food ever since we went to Santorini Greek Kitchen last weekend.
When I opened up my April issue of Bon Appetit I was immediately drawn to this recipe. I just couldn’t shake the craving for Greek cuisine so I decided to recreate the experience in my own kitchen. The results were fabulous!
Not only are these potatoes the perfect way to brighten up a cold spring day, they would be incredible as a summer side dish as well. 🙂
