Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into wedges, about 8 wedges per potato.
In a large baking dish, combine the lemon juice with the low sodium chicken broth, minced garlic, and olive oil.
Add the oregano, salt, and pepper to the dish and stir to mix the ingredients well.
Place the potato wedges in the dish, ensuring they are evenly coated with the liquid mixture.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil after 30 minutes and carefully stir the potatoes to coat them in the sauce. Return the dish, uncovered, to the oven.
Continue to bake for an additional 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish, perfect alongside grilled chicken or fish.
