Ingredients
-
1.2 kg (2.5 lb) potatoes (Desiree, Yukon Gold, or Maris Piper varieties recommended)
-
1½ cups low sodium chicken stock or broth
-
½ cup olive oil
-
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
-
5 garlic cloves, finely grated
-
1 tablespoon dried oregano
-
2 teaspoons salt
-
Optional garnish: lemon wedges, fresh oregano leaves
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Peel potatoes and cut into wedges or large chunks.
-
In a large roasting pan, combine chicken stock, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and salt. Stir well.
-
Add potatoes to the pan and toss to coat evenly in the lemon and herb mixture.
-
Roast uncovered for about 45–60 minutes, turning occasionally, until potatoes are golden, tender inside, and crisp on the edges.
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh oregano leaves and lemon wedges if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
-
Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Desiree for best texture.
-
Low sodium broth helps control saltiness; adjust salt to taste.
-
Finely grated garlic disperses flavor evenly without harsh bites.
- Turning potatoes during roasting ensures even browning.
