Ingredients
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes well, then cut them into thick wedges of similar size.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chicken broth, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until all pieces are fully coated.
5. Transfer the potatoes and all of the liquid to a baking dish or roasting pan, spreading the wedges into an even layer.
6. Tuck the lemon slices between and over the potatoes.
7. Roast for 45 minutes, turning the potatoes once halfway through cooking.
8. Continue roasting for 15 to 20 more minutes, until the potatoes are deeply golden on the edges and tender in the center.
9. Spoon some of the pan juices over the top, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best creamy interior and crisp edges.
Fresh lemon juice gives the cleanest and brightest flavor in this dish.
Roast until most of the liquid reduces so the potatoes absorb maximum flavor and caramelize properly.
