Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon Gold or baby potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on for texture. Cut them in half or into large wedges.
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place potatoes in a large baking dish, pour the marinade over, and toss well to coat.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast uncovered for 45–55 minutes, turning occasionally, until edges are golden and crisp.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme or parsley before serving. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the potatoes for the last 3–5 minutes of roasting.
