Ingredients

• 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Baby Potatoes
• 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 Lemons
• 4 Garlic Cloves
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 2 tsp Dried Oregano
• 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
• 0.25 cups Water or Chicken Broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into quarters or halves if using baby potatoes, ensuring all pieces are of similar size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of two lemons (reserve the lemon zest), and minced garlic cloves. Stir together and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with the melted lemon butter mixture. Add dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 5

Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer. Pour the water or chicken broth around the edges of the potatoes to prevent them from drying out during roasting.

Step 6

Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for 35 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 7

After 35 minutes, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden, crispy on the edges, and tender in the center.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley and lemon zest for a bright finishing touch.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a delicious side dish to grilled chicken, fish, lamb, or your favorite Mediterranean dishes.
