Ingredients

Liquid and Dressing

  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ lemons (juiced)
  • 1 tbsp mustard

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp dill (fresh or dried)
  • 1 tsp salt (heaping)

Main Ingredient

  • 6 Yukon gold potatoes (sliced into wedges)

Garnish

  • 1 handful fresh parsley (chopped)
  • flaky salt (optional, for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Sauce: Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a 9×13-inch casserole dish, combine the vegetable broth, extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dill, mustard, and salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, forming a flavorful lemon-olive oil dressing.
  2. Add Potatoes and Toss: Place the Yukon gold potato wedges into the casserole dish with the lemon dressing. Toss the potatoes gently to ensure every wedge is evenly coated with the herbaceous, tangy mixture, which will infuse them with robust flavor during baking.
  3. Bake the Potatoes: Bake the potatoes uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Halfway through the baking process, about 35 minutes in, carefully stir the potatoes to redistribute the sauce and ensure they cook evenly and remain coated in the flavorful liquid. Continue baking until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes and add flaky salt to taste if desired. This final touch adds brightness and texture, making the dish ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use Yukon gold potatoes as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture when baked.
  • Fresh dill can be substituted with dried dill if unavailable; adjust the quantity according to taste.
  • Tossing the potatoes halfway through baking ensures even cooking and coating.
  • Serving with flaky salt enhances texture and a burst of saltiness without overpowering the lemon flavor.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or a fresh Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
