Servings: 4 to 6
Ingredients
- 2½ lbs Russet or other starchy potatoes peeled and cut into thin wedges
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- ¾ cup vegetable broth
- ¼ cup. extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp fresh lemon zest preferably organic
- ½ tbsp dried oregano
- Optional: Fresh oregano for garnish
Instructions
- Special Equipment:
- 17” Cast Iron Skillet (you can get one here)
- Place top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 400°F.
- Prep and arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a large cast iron skillet. Sprinkle with the garlic powder and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Whisk together the vegetable broth, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and oregano in a medium bowl and pour over the potatoes.
- Place the skillet in the pre-heated oven and cook for 25 minutes before carefully turning the potatoes. Return to oven for another 25 minutes.
- After cook time is complete, remove the skillet from the oven and carefully drain and reserve any excess liquid in the skillet. Return to oven for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely browned on the edges.
- Tip: You can also place the skillet under a hot broiler for 2-3 minutes for even crispier results.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving with some of the reserved cooking liquid drizzled on top. Enjoy!
