How to make Greek lemon potatoes

1. Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and slice into wedges. Place in a large, deep roasting dish in an even layer then drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and oregano.
2. Bake: Combine the chicken stock with lemon juice and garlic and pour into the roasting dish. Place in a preheated oven and allow to cook for 45-60 minutes or until the stock has been absorbed and the potatoes are crisp and golden. Give them a stir half-way through cooking to make sure they’re browning evenly. Remove from the oven, scatter with chopped parsley or fresh oregano and serve.

Can I make this ahead?

Yes, these potatoes can be prepped up to 2 hours in advance. The potatoes are definitely best served straight out of the oven but they can be reheated in a hot oven until crisp if necessary.
