Ingredients
- ✓4 lbs Large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into thick wedges
- ✓0.75 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- ✓1.5 cups Water or high-quality vegetable stock
- ✓6 cloves Fresh garlic cloves, minced
- ✓0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
- ✓1.5 tbsp Dried Mediterranean oregano
- ✓1 tsp Sea salt
- ✓0.5 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large roasting pan with olive oil or non-stick spray.
💡 Tip: Using a glass or ceramic baking dish often makes cleanup easier than metal pans.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, water (or stock), minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
💡 Tip: Use fresh garlic rather than jarred for a much deeper, aromatic flavor profile.
Place the potato wedges into the roasting pan and pour the liquid mixture over them. Toss thoroughly with your hands to ensure every wedge is well coated.
💡 Tip: Ensure the potatoes are arranged in a single layer so they roast rather than steam.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and continue roasting for another 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced to a syrupy glaze and the potatoes are deeply golden brown.
💡 Tip: If the pan becomes too dry, add a splash more stock to keep the potatoes succulent.
