Ingredients

• 6 pieces medium-sized potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into wedges approximately 1 inch wide.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, ground cumin, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 5

Transfer the potatoes to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking.

Step 6

Pour 1 cup of water into the baking dish to help steam the potatoes during roasting, ensuring they become soft and flavorful.

Step 7

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning.

Step 8

For added crispiness, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) during the last 5 minutes of baking, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the baking dish from the oven once the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 10

Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
