Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes
- 1 cup olive oil
- 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges, about 6-8 pieces per potato depending on size.
In a large baking dish, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and vegetable broth. Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato wedges to the mixture in the baking dish, turning to coat them evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the potatoes are cooking evenly and absorbing the flavors.
After 40 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C). Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Sprinkle the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley and lemon zest before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
