Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds firm waxy potatoes (such as Yukon Gold), peeled or unpeeled

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling the potatoes (or leaving the skins on for added texture and nutrients) and cutting them into evenly sized wedges or chunks to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and broth until well combined and fragrant.
  3. Marinate the Potatoes: Toss the potato wedges in the lemon and herb mixture, making sure each piece is well-coated. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the fresh flavors.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Transfer the marinated potatoes and all the juices into a roasting pan. Spread out in a single layer and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 40–50 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on the outside but soft inside.
  5. Serve Hot and Enjoy: Once perfectly roasted, serve immediately to enjoy the crispy edges and tangy garlic flavor at their best.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and avoid mushy pieces.
  • Do not skip marinating; it enhances flavor absorption and tenderness.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest and most aromatic result.
  • Turn potatoes halfway through roasting to promote even browning.
  • Roast uncovered to allow steam to escape and achieve crispiness.
