Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges or large chunks, about 1 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, chicken stock, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
Add the potato wedges to the mixing bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the mixture.
Transfer the potatoes and any remaining liquid to a large baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Roast the potatoes for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
After 25 minutes, remove the baking dish, stir the potatoes gently, and spoon some of the pan juices over them to keep them moist.
Return the dish to the oven and roast for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, and tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish for grilled meats, seafood, or a light salad to enjoy the full Greek experience.
