Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. Peel and slice the potatoes into thick wedges, about 3 cm (1.2 inches). Rinse under cold water.
  3. In a large roasting pan, combine the potatoes with chicken stock, olive oil, lemon juice, grated garlic, dried oregano, and salt. Toss to coat.
  4. Roast for 20 minutes, then turn the potatoes and roast for an additional 25-30 minutes until liquid is nearly absorbed.
  5. Transfer potatoes to a separate tray, drizzle with drained oil, and roast for another 35-40 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. Return roasting pan to oven for the last 5-10 minutes to reduce remaining juices for drizzling.
  7. Transfer finished potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with fresh lemon wedges and chopped oregano.

Notes

These Greek Lemon Potatoes can be prepared ahead of time. They store well in the fridge, and reheating in the oven preserves their crispiness.
