Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds yellow gold potatoes, cut into wedges

Marinade

  • 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: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the potatoes evenly.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Place the potato wedges in a large baking dish, making sure they are evenly distributed for proper roasting.
  3. Make the Marinade: In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, chicken stock, water, dried oregano, grated garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to create a flavorful liquid mix.
  4. Coat the Potatoes: Pour the marinade over the potato wedges, then toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly with the mixture.
  5. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated potatoes out in a single layer in the baking dish to promote even cooking and browning.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring once halfway through to ensure all sides become tender and golden brown. The potatoes should be soft inside and slightly crisp on the outside when done.

Notes

  • Use yellow gold potatoes for a creamy texture and rich flavor.
  • Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for pungency.
  • Stir potatoes halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken stock with vegetable stock.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, though leftovers can be reheated.
