Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedges or thick slices, ensuring they are uniformly sized for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, chopped fresh rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the potato wedges to the marinade and toss them well, ensuring each piece is coated evenly with the mixture.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a large baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet.
Pour the vegetable broth over the potatoes in the dish. The broth will infuse the potatoes with additional moisture and flavor while roasting.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender. Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they roast evenly.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving for a burst of freshness.
Serve the oven-roasted Greek potatoes hot as a delightful side dish, perfect for accompanying your favorite Mediterranean meals.
