We have just come back from an amazing Spring Break in Greece.
We went to Athens and the paradise island of Santorini.
For a week, we were having amazing Greek food and now that I am back, I am so inspired to share some of the dishes I enjoyed with you.

Let’s start with something simple like this Greek Roasted Potatoes.
Every morning, our hotel offers free breakfast and they served this Greek Roasted Potatoes, which is amazing.
It’s a very simple recipe with common ingredients of garlic, olive oil, red bell peppers, salt and paprika, but they are so delicious.
I recreated this yesterday and it was a great success and it mimics the same taste I had in Greece.
The potatoes are so tender and amazing, with the aroma of oregano and garlic, with just a tint of heat from the red bell peppers and paprika.
Try this recipe, it takes 20 minutes.

My favourite potatoes are Greek roasted potatoes and have developed a passion for them after 19 visits to the Greek islands and Greece. However, I was so disappointed to see you have left out the most consistent ingredient in Greek roasted potatoes and that is LEMON JUICE!! The lemon juice gives a real Mediterranean flavour and tang to this wonderful dish. Would suggest the juice of 1/2 to a whole lemon depending on taste.

Thanks for your feedback! Will add lemon juice.
