Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup olive oil, preferably Greek
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425ºF. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Coarsely chop 4 garlic cloves and place in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and several grinds of black pepper, and whisk to combine.
  3. Cut 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch thick wedges, add to the bowl, and toss to combine. Pour everything into the baking dish and spread into an even layer. Pour 1/2 cup water over the potatoes. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  4. Bake until the potatoes are fork tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and bake until the liquid is evaporated and the potatoes begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
