Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Garlic bulbs
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the Yukon gold potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1 inch in size.
Peel off any loose layers from the garlic bulbs, but keep them whole. Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon into slices.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato pieces, olive oil, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Nestle the whole garlic bulbs and lemon slices among the potatoes.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 35–40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the potatoes with fresh oregano leaves.
Serve the roasted potatoes hot, with the roasted garlic cloves squeezed out of their skins for extra flavor. Enjoy!
