Ingredients

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Potatoes and Toppings

  • 4 large baking potatoes (Russet, Idaho, or Yukon gold), peeled, washed, and cut into wedges
  • 8 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for coating baking dish
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup parsley leaves, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat a large 9”x13” baking dish with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the spices: In a small bowl, combine the sweet paprika, dried rosemary, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper to form a fragrant spice blend.
  3. Season the potatoes: Arrange the peeled and cut potato wedges in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the potatoes and toss gently to coat all pieces thoroughly.
  4. Prepare the broth mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chopped garlic, extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and vegetable broth. Pour this flavorful mixture evenly over the seasoned potatoes.
  5. Bake covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 minutes to allow the potatoes to cook and absorb the flavors.
  6. Add the cheesy crust: Remove the foil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes. Return the baking dish to the oven uncovered, roasting for an additional 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy with a delicious cheesy crust.
  7. Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy this flavorful Greek-inspired side dish alongside your favorite main courses.

Notes

  • Use Russet, Idaho, or Yukon Gold potatoes for best results due to their texture and flavor.
  • For a non-vegetarian version, chicken broth can be used instead of vegetable broth.
  • Adjust the lemon juice to taste for more or less acidity.
  • Covering the dish during baking ensures the potatoes stay moist while cooking through.
  • Parmesan cheese gives a nice golden crust but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
  • Fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh flavor and garnish appeal.
