Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into wedges, about 1-inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chicken broth, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure they are well coated with the mixture.
Transfer the potato wedges to a large baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet, pouring any remaining liquid over the top.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, stir the potatoes to ensure even cooking and return them to the oven.
Continue roasting for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. You can check for doneness by piercing them with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest over the top before serving.
Serve the Greek potatoes hot as a side dish and enjoy!
