Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces medium-sized potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into wedges approximately 1 inch wide.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, ground cumin, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Transfer the potatoes to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking.
Pour 1 cup of water into the baking dish to help steam the potatoes during roasting, ensuring they become soft and flavorful.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning.
For added crispiness, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) during the last 5 minutes of baking, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the baking dish from the oven once the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
