Greek-style potatoes

Greek-style potatoes are a fragrant and appetizing dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. The secret to its delightful flavor lies in the combination of young potatoes soaked in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. Baked until golden brown, this potato is tender inside and crispy outside. The dish features refreshing citrus notes, a spicy garlic aroma, and a hint of herbal zest. It pairs wonderfully as a standalone treat or as a side to meat and fish. Greeks often serve it with herbs and a piece of feta cheese, adding even more depth of flavor. Its simplicity in preparation and rich taste make Greek-style potatoes a favorite both in everyday meals and festive tables.
