Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon gold or russet potatoes
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Lemon juice
- 0.5 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or baking sheet.
Peel the potatoes, if desired, and cut them into wedges about 1 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, chicken or vegetable broth, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly in the mixture.
Transfer the potatoes and the liquid to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out into a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes.
Remove the dish from the oven, stir the potatoes gently to ensure even cooking, and return to the oven for another 25 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Optional: For extra crispiness, turn on the broiler for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye on the potatoes to prevent burning.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or on their own.
