Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 120 ml Chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Each potato should yield about 6 to 8 wedges depending on size.

Step 3

Place the potato wedges in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the potatoes crispier.

Step 4

While the potatoes soak, mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 6

In a large baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches), combine the olive oil, garlic, dried oregano, fresh lemon juice, chicken stock, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to form a marinade.

Step 7

Add the potato wedges to the baking dish and toss them in the marinade until they are well-coated. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer for even cooking.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, remove the foil, toss the potatoes gently to ensure even coating, and return the dish to the oven uncovered.

Step 10

Bake the potatoes uncovered for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy on the edges. Toss them halfway through if needed to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
