oven roasted potatoes


  • 8 large potatoes, peeled, cut into large wedges (about 6-7 wedges per potato)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced 
  • olive oil to coat (approx. 1/4 cup -more if needed)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 lemon - juiced
  • salt
  • fresh coarse ground black pepper
  • Preheat oven to 420°F
  • Put all the ingredients into a greased baking pan large enough to hold them.
  • The garlic will drop into the water/oil solution but its flavor will permeate the potatoes, and this way, it won't burn.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Stir.
  • Add 1/2 cup more water if pan appears to be getting dry, and put back into oven to brown other side of potatoes.
  • This will take about another 40 minutes. 
  •  Do not be afraid of overcooking the potatoes- they will be delicious.
