Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk together.
  3. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the lemon-garlic mixture.
  4. Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  5. Pour the chicken broth or water over the potatoes.
  6. Roast for 45-55 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
  7. Serve hot as a side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispy edges, you can broil the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching them closely to prevent burning.
  • These potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled chicken, lamb chops, or fish.
  • Consider this recipe when looking for meal planning ideas for delicious side dishes.
