The combination of zesty lemon and aromatic oregano brings out the natural flavors of the potatoes, creating a dish that's perfect as a side or even as a main course. Let's dive into this simple yet delicious recipe.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skins on can add a nice texture.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized wedges or chunks. This ensures they cook at the same rate.
- Place the potato pieces in a large mixing bowl.
- Spray a short burst of cooking spray oil over the potatoes. Toss the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil.
- Sprinkle the dried oregano over the potatoes. Toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the seasoned potatoes. Toss once more to make sure the lemon juice is evenly spread.
- Spread the seasoned potato pieces evenly on a baking sheet. Make sure they are in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake the potatoes in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Halfway through the baking time, use a spatula to turn the potatoes over to ensure they cook evenly.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter. Optionally, you can garnish them with a bit more dried oregano or a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest for extra flavor.
Tips:
- Choose firm, evenly sized potatoes for uniform cooking.
- Scrub the potatoes well to remove any dirt before cutting them.
- Preheat your oven for quicker and more even roasting.
- Toss the potatoes thoroughly in the lemon juice and oregano to ensure an even coating.
- Check for doneness by piercing the potatoes with a fork; they should be tender inside and crispy on the outside.
With minimal ingredients and straightforward steps, Potatoes with Oregano & Lemon is a quick and flavorful dish that anyone can prepare. The blend of citrus and herb brings a burst of freshness to your meal, making it a versatile addition to any culinary repertoire. Enjoy this wholesome and tasty delight!
