I bought a giant bag of new potatoes and wanted to make a whack of delicious slow-roasted potatoes. So often they end up being disappointing but thanks to this recipe at food.com, I came up with my own way to make them. They are super flavourful and perfect for a Sunday night dinner feast. You can print out my version of the recipe here.
Cut 2-3 lbs of potatoes in half (from medium size potatoes, quarter if large). Let them stand in water while preparing sauce. Rinse potatoes and pat dry with paper towel.
Combine 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper.
Whisk together and then add 1 cup chicken broth. Cover potatoes with marinade in a large casserole dish. If you can, use a large white pyrex casserole dish.
Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in fridge for at least an hour. Marinaded potatoes were a first for me!
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Put the potatoes with the sauce in the oven and roast for 1 hour and 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

Absolutely delicious! Yes, there will be a bit of a clean up with that casserole dish but it is totally worth it. Same with how long they take to make. Lemony, tender but also slightly browned… I can not wait to make these again!
As far as I am concerned (and Reg too BTW) these were perfect. They are going into my slim “make again regularly” file folder. I hope you give them a try too! Cheap, easy and total fall comfort food.

They sound and look amazing! Do you leave them in the marinade when they cook or drain it off?
They really were Sandy, so excited I have leftovers! You put everything in the oven together, including the marinade. There is still some leftover for a nice light sauce which was wonderful.
I made these the other night with slow-cooker pulled beef and it was the perfect side dish! thank you for sharing this now. will be a go-to potato recipe! also, realized that before you add the broth, the marinade also makes for a good salad dressing 🙂
That would be the perfect side dish for pulled beef, well done! Oh wow, yes, that would be a good salad dressing Shira, LOL. I will have to try that. So glad you enjoyed the potatoes too!
