Ingredients

3 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup beef stock or chicken stock
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place the potatoes in a single layer in a 13-x-9-inch baking dish and pour the oil over them. Add the garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste and toss well to coat with the oil.
Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes. Add the stock, toss and bake for 10 minutes more. Add the lemon juice, toss and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the potatoes are cooked through. If you like, preheat the broiler and broil the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Sprinkle with the fresh oregano and serve at once.
Variation:
Dissolve 1 tablespoon tomato paste in the stock, and reduce the amount of lemon juice to taste. Substitute Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for the black pepper.

Time 1h

Yield 3 pounds potatoes, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 lbs potatoes (use small if possible and cut into about 1-1/2 - 2 inch cubes)
1/2 cup olive oil (or more)
2 tablespoons butter, melted (no subs!)
1 whole bulb of garlic, separated into smaller cloves and skins removed (can use two whole bulbs if desired)
2 teaspoons dried oregano (rubbed between fingers, can increase to up to 1 tablespoon)
1 -2 teaspoon salt
black pepper
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (no bottled please!)

Steps:

Set oven to 400 degrees.
Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
In a small cup or bowl, whisk together the oil and melted butter; add in dried oregano and mix well.
Place the potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large bowl.
Pour the oil/butter mixture over the potatoes and the garlic; toss well to coat.
Season with salt and pepper (you can use seasoning salt in place of regular salt, I most always do!) toss well to coat.
Place the potatoes in the baking dish in a single layer, and bake for 15 minutes (if you are lucky enough to have a convection/roast setting on your oven, then use it for this recipe).
Remove and add in the chicken stock; toss the potatoes to coat well, and place back in the oven for about 10 minutes more.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh lemon juice; toss and place back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes more.
**NOTE** if you like you can preheat the broiler, and broil the potatoes for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, but that is optional.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for roasting, as they have a high starch content that makes them fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the potatoes are not cut evenly, some pieces will be overcooked while others are undercooked.
Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown and develop flavor. Be sure to use enough oil so that the potatoes are evenly coated.
Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them to get crispy on the outside. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
Stir the potatoes halfway through roasting: This will help them to cook evenly. If you don't stir them, the potatoes on the bottom of the pan will brown more than the potatoes on the top.
Remove the potatoes from the oven when they are tender: You can test this by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the potatoes are done.

Conclusion:

Roasted potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect roasted potatoes every time.
