Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges, approximately 1 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss to thoroughly coat them in the marinade.
Transfer the coated potatoes to the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the dish to add moisture while cooking.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, stir or flip the potatoes to ensure even browning.
Continue roasting for another 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
