Greek Style Lemony Potatoes
Ingredients:
– 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
– 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
– 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup vegetable broth
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined.
3. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until evenly coated. Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour any excess marinade over the potatoes for extra flavor.
5. Pour the vegetable broth into the baking dish around the potatoes. The broth will help keep the potatoes moist and infuse them with additional savory notes.
6. Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
7. Once the potatoes are cooked through and caramelized, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness.
8. Serve the Greek Style Lemony Potatoes hot as a side dish to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as part of a mezze spread. Their vibrant lemony flavor and tender texture will surely be a hit at any gathering.
