Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 4 Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into wedges, about 6-8 wedges per potato depending on size.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and chop the fresh rosemary.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, chopped rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat each piece with the marinade.
Transfer the coated potato wedges to a large baking dish or sheet pan, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the baking dish, ensuring it spreads evenly across the bottom.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot with lemon wedges for an extra zesty finish.
