    🥣Equipment

    Nothing fancy needed for this recipe - you'll want a bowl for mixing the sauce, measuring cups and spoons, a large baking tray (or cookie sheet) and spatula or tongs to flip the potatoes when they're halfway done roasting.

    🥡Storage

    These yellow potatoes will keep for about 3 days in the fridge after they're roasted.

    Keep any leftovers in an air-tight container and keep the Greek yogurt sauce in a separate container, also in the fridge.

    If you have a crowd coming over, get these potatoes in the oven and forget about them while you get your other dishes ready.

    ⏲️Make ahead tip

    You can prep the potatoes by washing and cutting them up ahead of time, up to 8 hours. Keep them in an air-tight container in the fridge till you're ready to bake them.

    Same goes for the sauce - if you need to, whisk up the Greek yogurt sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge.

    😄What to serve with lemon roasted potatoes

    What doesn't go with lemon roasted yellow potaotes?!

    Their creamy goodness pairs well with almost any protein and veggie combo.

    Here are some of the best pairings:

    • Chicken like this Baked Chicken with Zucchini and Peaches dinner
    • Fish, like salmon - try this Easy Baked Salmon with Mayo because you've got the oven on anyways🐟
    • Roasted pork loin with steamed vegetables would be lovely too

    ❓Should you boil potatoes before roasting them?

    This recipe is a "no boil" recipe, meaning you can skip that step and the potatoes are still delicious and the skins brown nicely.

    If you have a little more time and want to boil your potatoes first, go for it.

    Boiling the potatoes for a few minutes in water gets some of the starch out, cuts down on cooking time, and helps the potatoes get more of a crispy coating on the outside.

    So totally up to you if you want to boil and/or soak the potatoes first.

    Hope you love these roasted potatoes with Greek lemon sauce like we do❣️
