Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
Baking Liquid
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 3/4 cup vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the potatoes evenly.
- Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges of uniform size for consistent cooking.
- Make Lemon Broth: In a bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, pressed garlic, poultry seasoning, vegetable broth, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk thoroughly until well mixed.
- Coat Potatoes: Place the potato wedges in a baking dish and pour the lemon broth mixture over them. Toss gently to coat all the potatoes evenly in the flavorful liquid.
- Initial Bake: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, allowing them to soften and begin browning.
- Flip and Continue Baking: Remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully turn the potatoes to ensure even roasting and browning on all sides. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 40 minutes until golden, tender, and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the potatoes before serving to add a fresh, vibrant flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- You can use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth if preferred for a richer flavor.
- For an extra crispy texture, you may broil the potatoes for the last 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- These potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled meats, seafood, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
- Adjust lemon and garlic quantities based on your taste preference.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated; the potatoes remain flavorful when warmed.
