Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth or vegetable broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized wedges, approximately 1-inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges onto a large baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Pour the chicken broth or vegetable broth evenly over the potatoes on the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip the potato wedges using tongs or a spatula. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Once roasted to perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve warm as a side dish to grilled meats, fish, or a fresh Greek salad!
