Ingredients

Scale
  • Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 4 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons oregano
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and peel your potatoes. Cut them into wedges or chunks, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, the juice of 2 lemons, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly until they are well coated in the marinade.
  5. In a large baking dish, arrange the potatoes in a single layer. Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth around the potatoes, ensuring they are not submerged but sitting in the broth.
  6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. Halfway through, use a spatula to turn the potatoes for even crisping.
  7. After 45 minutes, check the potatoes. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender inside. If they need more time, continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  8. Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or additional lemon zest if desired.

Nutrition

Keywords: For extra crispiness, you can parboil the potatoes for 5-7 minutes before marinating. Feel free to experiment by adding spices like smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne for heat.
