Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or baking sheet.
Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes (optional for a creamier texture) and cut them into wedges about 1 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly, ensuring each wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth evenly over the potatoes. This helps to infuse the potatoes with flavor and keeps them moist as they roast.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, carefully remove the dish from the oven, flip the potatoes to ensure even browning, and return them to the oven.
Continue roasting for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the outside and fork-tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to grilled meats, fish, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
