Description
Patates limonates is a classic Greek side dish. Golden potato wedges are roasted in the oven with lemon juice and chicken broth, then crisped up and served alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
Ingredients
3 lbs yellow potatoes, sliced into wedges (1.36 kg)
1/2 cup olive oil (120 ml)
4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth (120 ml)
2 large lemons, juiced (about 1/3 cup or 80 ml)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes
- Wash and peel the yellow potatoes (optional) before slicing them into wedges.
- Transfer the wedges to a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
3. Season the Potatoes
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes.
- Add the chopped garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Toss the potatoes thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings. Spread them out in an even layer in the baking dish.
4. Roast the Potatoes (First Round)
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
5. Add the Broth
- Remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the chicken broth evenly over the potatoes.
- Toss the potatoes gently to coat them with the broth, then spread them out again in an even layer.
6. Roast the Potatoes (Second Round)
- Return the dish to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes.
7. Add the Lemon Juice
- Remove the dish from the oven again and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the potatoes. Toss to coat thoroughly.
8. Roast Until Golden
- Roast the potatoes for an additional 30–35 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and golden brown around the edges.
- If you prefer extra-crispy edges, broil the potatoes for 2–3 minutes at the end of roasting.
9. Serve
- Serve the potatoes hot, paired with aioli, tzatziki, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth to make this dish vegetarian.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
For added richness, sprinkle feta cheese over the potatoes before serving.
