Prep Time15 minutes

Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: Greek
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs yukon gold potatoes (about 6-7 potatoes depending on size)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1.5 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Wash potatoes. Leave skin on or peel, either way works.
  • Cut potatoes lengthwise in half and then cut again into quarters to make even sized wedges. Place potatoes in a deep baking dish, making sure not to overcrowd the dish.
  • Pour olive oil over the potatoes. Season potatoes with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Mix together using your hands to ensure potatoes are evenly coated in seasonings.
  • Peel garlic cloves and press with the back of your knife to lightly crush each clove. Place garlic cloves throughout the potatoes.
  • Juice 1 lemon and pour lemon juice over the potatoes. Add in the chicken broth and water.
  • Place roasting pan in the preheated oven uncovered for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and garnish with fresh lemon wedges, if desired.

Notes

  • Try to choose potatoes that are uniform sizes so the wedges you cut will be equal sizes. This helps with even cooking. 
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350 F oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
