Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon oregano leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon basil, chopped (optional)
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon salt
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken broth, boiling
2/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°.
  • Remember to BOIL the chicken broth.

  • Top with feta and bake until golden, about 15 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Potatoes: Select small to medium-sized potatoes with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid potatoes that are too large, as they may not cook evenly.
  • Parboiling the Potatoes: Parboiling helps ensure that the potatoes cook evenly and become tender on the inside while maintaining their shape. Make sure to drain the potatoes thoroughly before roasting them.
  • Seasoning the Potatoes: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper to season the potatoes before roasting. You can also add other herbs and spices of your choice, such as oregano, thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Roasting the Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in a preheated oven at a high temperature (400-425°F) for about 20-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Adding the Lemon-Garlic Sauce: Prepare the lemon-garlic sauce while the potatoes are roasting. Combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the roasted potatoes and toss to coat.
