Greek Style Potatoes

640
Greek Style Potatoes is a simple recipe, and the closest I can get to the real thing. The best is that it can be adjusted to your taste as you bake it. I sometimes add a little more lemon. The potatoes are moist, and great with green beans and baked chicken with a little salsa and feta on top.

Gigantes (Greek Lima Beans)

83
This is a family recipe. In Greek, it's called 'Gigantes' which translates as 'Giants.' Try to find the largest dried lima beans possible. My aunt adds small canned sausages, but I prefer this meatless. Serve with feta cheese and a crusty bread. You can also substitute 2 teaspoons parsley for the dill if you prefer.

Greek Lemon Potatoes

Greek potatoes, slow cooked and flavored with lemon, make the ultimate side dish. Potatoes are roasted with mustard, lemon, oregano, and olive oil until they melt in your mouth. Traditional Greek lemon potatoes like these don't use any chicken broth or similar. They're as simple as they are delicious!
