Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1.2 kg (2.5 lb) starchy potatoes (such as Desiree, Yukon Gold, or Maris Piper), peeled and cut into thick wedges (about 3 cm / 1.2 inches)
- 1 1/2 cups halal-certified chicken stock or vegetable stock, low sodium
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 5 garlic cloves, finely grated with a microplane
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons salt
Garnish (optional)
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh oregano leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) or 180°C fan, and set out a large roasting pan.
- Add the potato wedges, stock, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and salt to the pan, then toss until everything is well coated.
- Roast for 20 minutes, turn the potatoes, then roast for another 25 to 30 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated and only oil is left in the pan.
- Transfer the potatoes to a clean tray, drizzle with the oil from the first pan, and roast for another 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice, until golden with crispy edges.
- Return the first pan to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes to reduce the garlicky juices, then drizzle over the potatoes before serving with lemon wedges and fresh oregano.
