Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut each potato into quarters, resulting in evenly sized wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the seasoning mixture.
Transfer the coated potato wedges to a large baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Pour the 1/4 cup of water around the edges of the baking sheet to provide moisture during cooking and prevent sticking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving for an added burst of flavor.
