I find they work better using waxy salad potatoes rather than floury baking potatoes. I put in less salt and agree that the water often doesn’t evaporate in the cooking time or that they take longer.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       12/17/2017   I love these potatoes and bring them to potluck s all the time by request. Sometimes I toss in a handful of peeled garlic cloves that end up carmelizing nicely. I usually don’t pay too much attention to how many potatoes I’m using, just fill a lasagna pan with the wedges. I do find it takes longer than stated to bake, so if I’m in a hurry and only have an hour, I put less water in. With the full amount it hasn’t evaporated after 50 minutes, I find.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet baking potatoes (8 medium), peeled and quartered 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons) 1 tablespoon dried oregano, preferably Greek oregano, plus more for garnish 1 tablespoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 500 degrees. Place potatoes in a metal roasting pan large enough to fit potatoes in a single layer. Add 1 cup water, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss potatoes until well coated.

Bake, uncovered, until fork-tender and brown on the edges, about 50 minutes. Turn potatoes halfway through for even browning; add water if all the liquid has been absorbed, before they have fully browned. If desired, garnish with oregano; serve.
