Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized wedges or chunks, about 1 to 2 inches thick.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chicken or vegetable broth, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly, ensuring they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Transfer the potatoes along with the liquid to a large baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, carefully remove the dish from the oven and give the potatoes a gentle toss to ensure even cooking. Return them to the oven.
Continue roasting for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
If you prefer crispier edges, broil the potatoes for an additional 2 to 3 minutes at the end of cooking.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Greek Lemon Garlic Potatoes!
