Can I use a different potato variety?

Yes. Small red potatoes work well because they hold their shape, but Yukon Gold or other waxy potatoes are also a good choice. If using larger potatoes, cut them into evenly sized pieces so they roast at the same rate.

Can I make these without chicken broth?

Yes. Use vegetable broth to keep the recipe vegetarian and vegan. Water can work in a pinch, but broth adds more flavor.

How do I know when the potatoes are done?

They should be tender all the way through and browned on the edges. A fork should slide in easily, and the pan liquid should mostly be absorbed or reduced.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

You can cut the potatoes ahead and keep them in cold water for a few hours, then drain and dry well before roasting. For best texture, roast them just before serving.

Do I need to stir the potatoes while roasting?

Yes, stirring occasionally helps them brown evenly and prevents sticking. It also lets the potatoes absorb the broth and lemon juice as they roast.

What should I serve with roasted Greek potatoes?

They pair well with grilled vegetables, roasted fish, chicken, lamb, or other Mediterranean-style mains. They also work as part of a mezze or vegetarian spread.

More About This Recipe

Most of the liquid should evaporate, leaving potatoes that are soft inside with a nice crust outside. If serving with a Greek themed meal, I have also tossed a large handful of kalamata olives in with the potatoes.
