  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Lemon-Garlic Sauce
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice about 2-3 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • For Garnish
  • Fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • - Large baking dish or sheet pan
  • - Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Zester or grater (for lemon zest)
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a large baking dish or sheet pan.
  3. Step 2: Make the Lemon-Garlic Sauce
  4. In the same mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, and broth. Pour the sauce evenly over the potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated.
  5. Step 3: Roast the Potatoes
  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, stir the potatoes, and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy, and the sauce has reduced to a thick, glossy coating.
  7. Step 4: Garnish & Serve
  8. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy hot!
