Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.2 kg potatoes (Aus: Desiree, US: Yukon Gold, UK: Maris Piper)
  • 1.5 cups chicken stock/broth low sodium
  • 0.5 cups olive oil
  • 0.33 cups lemon juice
  • 5 garlic cloves finely grated using microplane
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoon salt

Garnish (optional)

  • lemon wedges
  • fresh oregano leaves

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan).
  • Peel potatoes and cut large ones into thick wedges – about 3cm / 1.2" thick – and medium ones into 3.
  • Place potatoes in a roasting pan with all the other ingredients. Toss well.
  • Roast for 20 minutes. Turn potatoes, roast for a further 25 to 30 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed by potatoes/evaporated and you're left with mainly oil in the pan.
  • Transfer potatoes to a separate tray. Tilt the original roasting pan and scoop off as much of the oil as you can, then drizzle over the potatoes.
  • Transfer potatoes to oven and roast for 35 – 40 minutes, turning once or twice, until potatoes are golden and a bit crispy on the edges.
  • Return pan #1 with the garlic juices to the oven for the last 5 – 10 minutes to reduce down and make the garlic golden.
  • Transfer potatoes to serving platter. Drizzle over the reduced garlic pan juices (or toss potatoes in the pan). Serve, garnished with lemon wedges and oregano if desired.
