If you've ever had Greek-inspired lemon roasted potatoes, taken a bite of briam (a baked potato and zucchini dish), or have dipped vegetables into skordalia (a garlic potato dip), you know it: the Greeks know how to prepare potatoes. So you may be surprised to learn that potatoes are a relatively knew ingredient in Greece. Certainly a potato would have puzzled Plato and so-confused Socrates. But the Greeks are fast learners, and they've done amazing things with spuds since their arrival in Greece in the 1800s. In this collection of our favorite Greek potato recipes, you'll find all the potato recipes mentioned above and lots more, including potato stews, potato and chicken bowls, and more.

"Briam is a traditional Greek roasted vegetable dish with potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, and red onions with lots of olive oil," says Chef John. "It is a typical example of Greek cuisine where a few simple ingredients are turned into an utterly delicious dish with little effort. It can be served as a main course. With olive oil as the only source of fat it is a quintessential example of the Mediterranean diet, and it is vegan to boot. If preferred, serve with a hearty chunk of feta on the side."
