Notes
- You can use olive oil instead of butter to make these lemon garlic potatoes vegan and for authentic greek flavors.
- You can use herbs like rosemary, thyme, or dill instead of the ones given in the recipe.
- Use fresh lemon for the best flavors.
- I love this boil and oven-roast method. You can also air fry, pan fry, or roast the potatoes in the instant pot.
- To enhance the flavor, you can sprinkle crumbled feta cheese before serving.
