Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes cut into wedges (see notes)
- ¾ cup fresh lemon juice from 3 lemons
- ¼ cup olive oil + 2 tablespoons divided
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon each: pepper and oregano
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup minced parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Place the potatoes, lemon juice, ¼ cup of the olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, and red pepper flakes to a large baking dish and toss to coat.
- Roast the potatoes for 30 mintues then toss and roast them again for another 20-30 minutes, or until the pan is dry and the potatoes have started to brown. For extra color on the potatoes, drizzle them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil then broil for 5-7 mintues. (see notes)
- Sprinkle the potatoes with the parsley and serve right away.

Notes
- To make potato wedges, quarter the potatoes. I prefer to cut each of the wedges in half so the pieces are smaller. This recipe will work with both large and small wedges.
- If you cannot broil with your baking dish, you can transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and broil them that way.
