Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes, cut into wedges
• 80 ml olive oil
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 4 garlic cloves, smashed
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 250 ml chicken or vegetable stock
• Salt and black pepper
• Fresh parsley, to garnish

Instructions

1. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper in a roasting tin.
2. Pour in the stock and roast at 200C for 25 minutes.
3. Turn the potatoes and roast 25 minutes more until golden, crisp and the liquid has reduced to a glossy sauce.
4. Spoon the pan juices over the potatoes and serve hot.
5. Let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes so the pan sauce thickens slightly.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Pro tips

• Do not crowd the tin or the potatoes will steam.
• The stock creates the signature lemony pan sauce.
• A final blast under the grill adds extra crispness.
