Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges or large chunks, about 1 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, chicken stock, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
Step 4
Add the potato wedges to the mixing bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the mixture.
Step 5
Transfer the potatoes and any remaining liquid to a large baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Step 6
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Roast the potatoes for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
After 25 minutes, remove the baking dish, stir the potatoes gently, and spoon some of the pan juices over them to keep them moist.
Step 8
Return the dish to the oven and roast for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, and tender on the inside.
Step 9
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish for grilled meats, seafood, or a light salad to enjoy the full Greek experience.
