Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (907 grams) Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, peeled & cut into wedges
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
Liquid and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) olive oil
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) lemon juice
Seasonings:
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled & smashed
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Activate the oven to a searing 400F (200C), preparing for a robust potato transformation.
- Dissolve the bouillon cube into the chicken broth, creating a flavor-packed liquid. Incorporate olive oil, zesty lemon juice, minced garlic, aromatic oregano, and a dash of pepper into this vibrant mixture.
- Meticulously peel and carve potatoes into robust 1-inch wedges. Arrange them strategically within a 9×13-inch baking vessel.
- Cascade the herbal broth mixture generously over the potato landscape, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Initiate roasting for 20 minutes. Midway, execute a careful flip, thoroughly coating each potato wedge in the savory liquid.
- Proceed with roasting an additional 35-45 minutes, monitoring as the liquid diminishes and potato surfaces acquire a golden-brown complexion.
- Elevate the oven temperature to an intense 415F (213C). Carefully transfer potatoes onto a fresh baking sheet.
- Drizzle remaining pan olive oil across the potatoes, enhancing their potential for crispy perfection. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Gently turn potatoes, exposing unroasted surfaces. Continue roasting 10-15 minutes until achieving a gloriously crisp, golden exterior.
- Finalize by sprinkling with a delicate salt dusting, presenting these Greek-inspired potato delicacies ready for enjoyment.
Notes
- Achieve extra crispiness by patting potatoes dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
- Substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version that maintains rich flavor profile.
- Try additional herbs like rosemary or thyme to customize the potato’s aromatic complexity.
- Use waxy potato varieties like Yukon Gold for a creamy interior and crispy exterior texture.
