Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 kg (2.2 lb) Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 2–3 cm (1-inch) wedges
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 120 ml (1/2 cup) fresh lemon juice (about 23 lemons) plus the zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • Optional: 1 tbsp (15 ml) white wine vinegar or 1 tsp (5 g) sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges.
  2. Whisk together the lemon juice, stock, olive oil, sliced garlic, salt, and pepper in a skillet.
  3. Add the potato wedges, stir to coat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
