My grocery bill has gotten a little out of control. I’m going to blame packing three school lunches a day, but seriously people, these kids are eating me out of house and home!

To try and save a little money I’ve been trying to incorporate more budget-friendly from-scratch recipes into my menu rotation. I’m especially trying to experiment more with potatoes and these easy Greek roasted potatoes are definitely a winner!

(If you’ve been around here for a while you know I love anything Greek- like my Slow Cooker Lamb, Tzatziki Sauce, Leg of Lamb, Instant Pot Lamb & Potatoes, or Greek Lemon Potatoes!)

dried oregano

Choosing potatoes

You can make these with whatever potatoes you have on hand. I normally prefer to roast russet potatoes because those are what I commonly have on hand. Yukon Gold and fingerling potatoes are also great for roasting.

The measurements will season enough to feed our family of five, about 6 large potatoes. It’s not an exact science so feel free to experiment with the measurements to customize it for your taste!

Step by step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet parchment paper or spray with nonstick.
Mix all ingredients except potatoes in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and stir to coat. You may also add potatoes and marinade to a bag, seal, and shake to coat.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
Remove pan from oven, stir and flip potatoes, and bake an additional 25 minutes uncovered or until golden brown.

These potatoes lasted all of ten minutes at dinnertime at my house the other night. In fact, I hadn’t even planned on sharing the recipe but they were such a big hit I made them the next night again so I could take pictures and share them with you too!

How to Make Crisp Potatoes in the Oven

Don’t crowd the potatoes on the pan, allowing room around them helps them to crisp up.
For extra crisp potatoes soak them in water to remove starch beforehand. Be sure to thoroughly pat dry before seasoning and baking.

How Long do You Roast Potatoes at 400 Degrees?

I recommend roasting the potatoes for about 50 minutes, stirring halfway through. Depending on the type of potato you use and the size of the pieces your baking time may be shorter or longer. Keep an eye on them and watch for that crispy golden brown color.
