Ingredients

3 large Russet Potatoes
3 Cloves Garlic minced
½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (good quality)
1 cup Water
1 tbsp Dried Oregano plus a little more, to taste
1 Lemon juiced
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 420°F. Peel and cut the potatoes into large even size chunks. Place them in a baking dish.
Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, olive oil, and water. Generously sprinkle with several cracks of freshly cracked salt and pepper.
Give it a good mix to combine/coat everything...I even like to use my hands to ensure it all gets mixed and coated properly!
Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and add more salt, pepper and oregano (a few extra sprinkles of each is good). Give it a good stir, rotating the bottom potatoes to the top and vice versa. At this point, if most of the water seems to have been absorbed, add in another 1/2 cup to prevent burning. Give it another stir.
Pop it back in the oven for another 35-40 minutes. They should be super soft, tender and crisp around the outer edges. It's hard to overcook these potatoes if you keep them moist and ensure the pan doesn't dry out during cooking. Serve immediately.
