Greek Lemon Potatoes

Potato wedges roasted in lemon juice, olive oil, oregano and a little water until the liquid reduces into a tangy glaze and the edges crisp.

Where it comes from

A side built to make plain potatoes worth cooking on their own, using lemon and oregano, ingredients grown locally, to carry flavor in households where meat was the smaller part of a meal.

What cooks argue about

Some cooks parboil the potatoes first to guarantee a soft center; others roast them raw in the lemon and oil the whole time, trading that certainty for edges that caramelize more.
