Greek Lemon Potatoes — RecipeTin Eats
Original creator bakes potato wedges in lemon, garlic, oregano, oil and stock. The original uses chicken stock; FOOD specifies 220 ml low-salt vegetable stock, so copying chicken stock would change its vegetarian suitability. Follow FOOD's 220°C oven and 35 plus 20–25 minute timings, not the video's possibly different oven steps.

Steps
- 01
Preheat oven to 220°C. Scrub 850 g potatoes and cut into evenly sized wedges approximately 2.5 cm thick.
- 02
Spread potatoes in a large roasting dish and toss with 65 ml lemon juice, 220 ml stock, 65 ml oil, 12 g garlic, 4 g oregano, 4 g salt and 1 g pepper.
- 03
Roast at 220°C for 35 minutes, then turn potatoes carefully with oven mitts. Baste with remaining pan liquid and roast another 20–25 minutes as liquid reduces.
The potatoes first braise in seasoned liquid, then roast as moisture evaporates. After 35 minutes spread pieces apart if much liquid remains; if garlic chars before the potatoes soften, lower the oven to around 200°C and check tenderness. - 04
When a fork slides easily into the thickest wedge and the edges are browned, remove. Spoon on any remaining juices and serve four.
Wedge sizes change cooking time. If a fork does not slip easily into the largest piece, roast in additional five-minute increments and carry the hot pan level to avoid splashing lemon broth and oil.

Before you cook
Check packaged vegetable stock for allergens and scrub potatoes. At 220°C monitor the pan so garlic and lemon juices do not burn, and cook wedges until tender through the center. Beware hot liquid and trays, and refrigerate leftover potatoes within two hours at 4°C/40°F or colder.
Allergens: check packaged vegetable stock for celery, wheat or other allergens
