  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges

  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley, lemon wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil.

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into even wedges.

  • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, broth, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  • Toss the potato wedges in the lemon-garlic mixture until fully coated.

  • Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the baking dish, pouring any extra sauce over the top.

  • Roast for about 45 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until golden and tender.

  • For extra crispiness, broil for 3-5 minutes at the end (optional).

 

  • Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges before serving. Enjoy every flavorful bite!

Notes

  • Yukon Golds are the magic potatoes here — creamy inside, crispy outside!

  • For an extra lemony punch, add some zest to the lemon-garlic mixture.

  • Use vegetable broth to keep it fully plant-based.

  • Love crispy bits? Let the potatoes broil for a few extra minutes (but watch closely!).

 

  • Leftovers are amazing — the flavors just get even better overnight!
