Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Gold or Yukon potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized wedges. Each potato should yield about 6-8 wedges, depending on its size.
In a large baking dish or sheet pan, add the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, chicken or vegetable stock, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the potato wedges to the dish and toss them in the mixture, ensuring every piece is coated with the marinade.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer so they roast evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully flip the potato wedges to ensure even roasting, and spoon some of the pan juices over the top.
Roast for another 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges while tender on the inside.
If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes as a garnish before serving.
Serve warm alongside your favorite main dish, and enjoy the zesty, savory flavors!
