Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Vegetable or chicken broth
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized wedges or chunks to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, vegetable or chicken broth, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to create the marinade.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl, tossing thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the marinade.
Transfer the potatoes and all the marinade into a large roasting pan or baking dish. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer for even roasting.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and gently toss the potatoes. This ensures even browning. Return the pan to the oven.
Roast for another 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown on the edges and fork-tender.
If desired, garnish the roasted potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on their own for a comforting, flavorful treat.
