Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the potatoes (if preferred), then cut them into evenly-sized wedges or chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, chopped rosemary, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are well-coated with the marinade.
If using chicken broth, pour it into the bottom of a large baking dish. This will help keep the potatoes moist and infused with flavor as they cook.
Spread the potatoes evenly in the baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 40–50 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish the roasted potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite Mediterranean-inspired main course!
