Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds firm, waxy potatoes (such as Yukon Gold), peeled and cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup olive oil (natural)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (natural)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut into even wedges or chunks to ensure uniform cooking and tender interiors with crisp edges.
- Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil (natural), lemon juice (natural), minced garlic, dried oregano, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well blended to evenly coat the potatoes.
- Coat the Potatoes: Toss the potato wedges in the marinade, making sure every piece is fully covered. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse deeply for a richer taste.
- Roast the Potatoes: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes, turning once halfway through to promote even browning and achieve a crisp, golden exterior with a soft interior.
- Finish and Garnish: Once roasted, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes for a fresh herbal aroma and bright color. Serve warm to enjoy their full, robust flavors.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for roasting to maintain shape and texture.
- Cut potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.
- Use freshly minced garlic for the best aromatic flavor.
- Allow potatoes to marinate for 15-20 minutes to boost flavor absorption.
- Flip potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure golden crispness on all sides.
