Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the potatoes cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedges or chunks, approximately 1 to 2 inches in size.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely to release their flavor.

  4. 4

    Zest and Juice the Lemon

    Zest the lemon and then cut it in half to juice it. You will use both the zest and the juice in the recipe.

  5. 5

    Chop the Parsley

    Rinse the fresh parsley, dry it, and chop it coarsely.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated.

  2. 7

    Arrange in Baking Dish

    Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer to ensure they cook properly.

  3. 8

    Bake the Potatoes

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

  4. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
