Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup Lemon juice
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges, approximately 1 inch thick.
In a large baking dish, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vegetable broth, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add the potato wedges to the dish, tossing them in the liquid mixture to coat evenly.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer, cutting side facing down for optimal browning.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil, gently stir the potatoes, and bake uncovered for an additional 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and tender.
When done, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the potatoes with fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or a hearty addition to your main course.
