Preparation

Marinating the Potatoes

Prepare the marinade

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated to avoid any uneven seasoning. Pro Tip: Marinate the potatoes overnight in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

Coat the potatoes

Add the quartered potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly, ensuring the marinade coats each piece evenly.

Rest

Let the potatoes marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb flavors.

Cooking Process

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Arrange for baking

Spread the marinated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

Roast the potatoes

Roast in the preheated oven until golden and crispy, about 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway through for even roasting.
