For the lemon-herb pan sauce
For the potatoes

Directions

Preheat the oven

Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). If you want deeper browning, let the baking pan warm up while the oven heats.

Cut the potatoes

Peel the potatoes and cut them into large wedges. Keeping them chunky helps them stay intact while roasting.

Mix the lemon-herb liquid

In a large bowl, stir together olive oil, lemon juice, water, garlic, dried oregano, sugar, and bay leaves. Add a little lemon zest if you like.

Combine in the pan

Arrange the potatoes in a baking pan and pour the mixture over. Tuck in the rosemary and thyme so the aroma infuses as it bakes.

Roast and turn

Roast for about 75 minutes total. Around the 45-minute mark, turn the potatoes so different sides get time against the pan and brown evenly.

Reduce the liquid

If there’s still lots of liquid near the end, raise the heat to 425°F (220°C) for the last 10–15 minutes to let it evaporate and concentrate.

Finish and serve

Remove bay leaves if you prefer. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.
