Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds yellow gold potatoes, cut into wedges

Roasting Mixture

  • 1 large lemon, juiced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 ¾ cups chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 4 garlic cloves, grated
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for roasting the potatoes evenly.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Place the potato wedges into a large baking dish, arranging them so they fit comfortably without overcrowding.
  3. Make the Roasting Mixture: In a measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, chicken stock, water, dried oregano, grated garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
  4. Coat the Potatoes: Pour the prepared mixture over the potato wedges, then toss them gently to ensure each wedge is evenly coated with the flavorful marinade.
  5. Arrange and Roast: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer within the baking dish to promote even roasting. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring once halfway through to brown all sides evenly. The potatoes should be tender inside and golden brown on the outside when done.

Notes

  • Use yellow gold potatoes because they hold their shape well and develop a nice crisp when roasted.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken stock with vegetable stock.
  • Grating the garlic instead of mincing helps distribute its flavor more evenly throughout the dish.
  • Stirring halfway through roasting ensures even browning and prevents sticking.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
