Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes (or other waxy potato)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 pcs Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes (if preferred) and cut them into wedges of equal size to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chicken or vegetable broth, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat them evenly in the marinade.
Transfer the coated potatoes, along with the marinade, to a large baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer for proper roasting.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes to allow the potatoes to absorb the flavors and begin softening.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and stir the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly. Return the dish to the oven and roast uncovered for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, with slightly crisp edges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for garnish and serve warm. Enjoy your Greek-style garlic lemon potatoes!
