Ingredients

• 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Lemon
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Vegetable broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized wedges (about 6-8 wedges per potato).

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 5

Zest the lemon and add the zest to the potato mixture. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half over the potatoes. Reserve the other half for garnish later.

Step 6

Transfer the coated potatoes to a baking dish or oven-safe skillet in a single layer. Pour the vegetable broth around the potatoes to help them cook evenly and prevent sticking.

Step 7

Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. After 20 minutes, remove the dish and gently flip the potatoes with a spatula to ensure even browning.

Step 8

Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges and tender on the inside. If needed, broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.

Step 9

While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh parsley.

Step 10

When the potatoes are done, sprinkle them with the chopped parsley and a final squeeze of the reserved lemon half for extra brightness.

Step 11

Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy these zesty and savory lemon potatoes with your favorite main dish.
