Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Baking dish or roasting pan
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Garlic press (optional)
- Spoon or spatula
- Oven mitts
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes Yukon Gold or similar, peeled and cut into wedges
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika optional
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). A hot oven is key to getting those crispy edges.
Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges. Try to keep them similar in size so they cook evenly.
Step 3: Make the Flavor Base
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chicken broth, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well until everything is blended.
Step 4: Coat the Potatoes
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them well so they are fully coated in the flavorful mixture.
Step 5: Arrange in Baking Dish
- Transfer the potatoes and all the liquid into a baking dish. Spread them out in a single layer for even cooking.
Step 6: First Bake
- Bake for about 30 minutes. During this time, the potatoes will absorb the liquid and soften.
Step 7: Flip and Crisp
- Remove from the oven, turn the potatoes carefully, and return them to the oven for another 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Step 8: Final Touch
- Once done, sprinkle fresh parsley on top and an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Notes
- Use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best texture
- Don’t overcrowd the pan
- Flip halfway for even crisping
- Let the liquid reduce fully for maximum flavor
- Roast a little longer if you want extra crispiness
