Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Zest of lemon
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Oregano, dried
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking dish or sheet.
Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized wedges, about 1-inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to form a dressing.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them well in the dressing, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the prepared baking dish. Pour any remaining dressing from the bowl over the potatoes.
Add 0.5 cup of water to the baking dish, placing it on the side to not wash off the seasoning from the potatoes.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the dish, gently toss the potatoes, and return to the oven. Continue roasting for an additional 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly.
Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious soy-free side dish, ideal for any Mediterranean meal.
