Greek oregano
2 tsp beef or chicken bouillon or veggie bouillon
lemon zest

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

1

Clean and peel off the skin from the potatoes.

2

Cut them in quarters.

3

Add the potatoes into a large roaster.

4

Add the onion, garlic, seasoning (salt, pepper, oregano, bouillon), lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil and mix very well.

5

Add the broth or water from the sides of the roaster and not over the potatoes so the seasoning won’t be washed out.

6

Shake and bake at 450°F (230°C) for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, mixing and flipping the potatoes with a spatula 1-2 times during cooking, and checking if the potatoes need more moisture.
