Ingredients
- Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- Plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- Fresh lemon juice
- Fresh lemon zest
- Fresh dill
- Fresh parsley
- Fresh oregano
- Olive oil
- Freshly minced garlic
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Your Potatoes: Start by scrubbing your potatoes clean under cold running water. Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. Next, carefully cut each potato lengthwise into even wedges.
- Whisk the Yogurt Coating: In a large mixing bowl, combine the full-fat Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and the aromatic lemon zest. Add your finely minced garlic, a generous drizzle of olive oil, and your chosen fresh, chopped herbs (dill, parsley, oregano). Season with a good pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth, well-combined, and fragrant mixture.
- Coat the Potato Wedges: Add all your prepared potato wedges to the bowl with the Greek yogurt mixture. Using your hands or a large spatula, toss the wedges thoroughly until each piece is completely coated.
- Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange and Bake: Carefully arrange the coated potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, carefully flip the wedges with a spatula to ensure even browning and crisping.
- Serve Immediately: Once they're out of the oven, transfer the Lemon Herb Greek Yogurt Potato Wedges to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with a little extra fresh lemon zest or chopped herbs for garnish.

Keywords: Don't overcrowd the pan for crispy wedges. Roasting at high heat is key for a crispy exterior. Fresh ingredients elevate the flavor significantly. Consider soaking potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking for extra crispiness.
