These potatoes are so addictive! Perfectly garlicky, lemony, creamy on the inside… and golden brown on the outside. They make for a nice accompaniment with any dinner.

Enjoy!

How to prepare greek style potatoes

Note: I usually cook with kosher salt not iodized or table salt. Kosher salt has wider, coarser grains than table salt. The wider grains salt food in a gentler way and enhances the flavour of foods instead of making them taste salty.

I use sea salt as a finishing salt because sea salt is harvested from the ocean and it has micro nutrients and adds other nice subtle flavours to your dish.

For example, in this recipe I put a pinch of kosher salt in the marinated potatoes and finish the dish with a pinch of sea salt.
