Easy Greek Lemon Potatoes

Patates Lemonates was my food obsession upon moving to Astoria, Queens and discovering the deliciousness of Greek cuisine. If you’ve been to an authentic Greek restaurant, you’ve undoubtedly learned that the Greek vegetable side game is unreal. Take their giant baked beans, olive dips, horta (dandelion greens) or these golden beauties for example. Well when this all occurred to me, I was a very happy new Queens resident!

Easy Greek Lemon Potatoes

This is one of my favorite comfort foods I treat myself to every so often and it’s too easy to not try. I’ve even put my own (albeit small) spin on them… by adding some turmeric. I couldn’t resist. Also, while a lot of restaurants and traditional recipes will use chicken broth, my Mother in law (and aspiring hand model in these photos) and I prefer it without! So this recipe is perfectly vegan. Serve these with your favorite sautéed greens and protein of choice like a broiled fish or beans and you have yourself a well-balanced and flavorful meal.

  4. Add over top: water, lemon juice, olive oil and all seasonings. Mix together with a wooden spoon or hands to make sure potatoes are evenly coated.
