Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges

Seasoning & Sauce

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or minced
  • 1 tablespoon dry Greek oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup chicken stock (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian option)
  • 3 lemons, juiced
  • 1 handful fresh oregano leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes to a perfect golden crisp.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Arrange the potato wedges in a large baking dish without overcrowding. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the garlic, dry oregano, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings and oil.
  3. Initial bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and roast the potatoes for 15 minutes to start softening and browning.
  4. Add stock and continue baking: Pour the chicken or vegetable stock over the potatoes, stirring gently to combine. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors and become tender.
  5. Add lemon juice and finish roasting: Drizzle the lemon juice over the potatoes, then roast for another 35 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked through and edges are crisp and golden brown.
  6. Serve: Transfer the roasted lemon potatoes to a serving platter. Pour the leftover lemon-garlic-oil sauce from the baking dish over the top and sprinkle fresh oregano leaves for an herbal bright finish. Serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and ability to hold shape well when roasted.
  • Adjust the lemon juice to taste depending on your preference for acidity.
  • For a vegan version, substitute chicken stock with vegetable stock.
  • Ensure potatoes are spread out evenly in the dish for even roasting and crispiness.
  • Add freshly ground black pepper to enhance flavor alongside sea salt.
  • These potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled meats, seafood, or a fresh Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
