Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Potato Mixture
  • 4 large large potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic is recommended.
  • 1 each lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano Can substitute with thyme or rosemary.
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Cut uniform wedges to ensure even cooking. Marinating the potatoes for a few hours amps up the flavor. For a spice twist, add crushed red pepper flakes or sliced red onions. Vegan option: use vegetable broth instead of olive oil.
