Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the lemon mixture.
- Arrange the potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the potatoes.
- Roast the potatoes: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. The liquid should be mostly absorbed, leaving the potatoes crispy and flavorful.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your Greek-Style Lemon Roasted Potatoes as a delicious and vibrant side dish that brings the sunny flavors of the Mediterranean to your table.
