Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.333 cup Olive oil
- 0.333 cup Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.666 cup Chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes (optional; keep the skin on if preferred), then cut them into uniform wedges, about 1 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them in the mixture.
Transfer the coated potatoes to a large baking dish or roasting pan, spreading them out in a single even layer.
Pour any remaining lemon-olive oil mixture from the bowl over the potatoes in the pan.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and carefully flip the potatoes to ensure even roasting.
Return the dish to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
If desired, broil the potatoes for 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time for extra crispness.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if using.
Serve hot and enjoy your Lemon Roasted Potatoes Greek Style!
