Skillet Lemon Potatoes
Greek-Style
Enjoy these lemon cast iron skillet Greek potatoes, when you want a budget friendly dish that has traditional Mediterranean flavors.
This easy side dish is great anytime of year.
Serve it for an outdoor picnic in the Summer or as part of a soothing, warm comfort food meal when the weather is chilly.
The potatoes will fill you up and satisfy your tastebuds.
The lemons in this recipe give the potatoes a nice kick of flavor that makes me happy.
Fresh lemons are best, of course.
However, if necessary, you can use bottled lemon juice and dried lemon zest.
The same goes for the oregano.
Use fresh oregano when possible, but dried is an ok substitute.
The potatoes taste like a treat, even though they are simple to prepare.
Enjoy!
