Ingredients

  • 3 pounds baking potatoes peeled and cut into wedges (see note 1)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or beef or vegetable stock (see note 2)
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2-3 tablespoons minced fresh oregano (see note 3)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the potatoes in a 13"x9" baking dish and pour the olive oil over them. Add the garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste and toss well to coat with the oil. Arrange the wedges in a single layer.
  2. Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes. Add the stock, then toss and bake for 10 minutes more. Add the lemon juice, toss and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the potatoes are cooked through. 
  3. If you like, preheat the broiler and broil the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with the fresh oregano and serve at once.

Notes

  • Potatoes: Any starchy, sturdy baking potato like Russets work well.
  • Chicken broth: Store-bought or homemade chicken broth. Or to keep this side dish recipe vegetarian, swap in an equal amount of vegetable stock.
  • Oregano: Dried to season the potatoes pre-roast, plus fresh for a garnish.
  • Yield: My Greek Roasted Potatoes recipe makes six 8-ounce servings of roasted vegetables, ideal as a side dish serving.
  • Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Make ahead: The potatoes can be sliced and stored in the refrigerator, completely submerged in water, up to 24 hours in advance.
