Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1 inch thick

  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano

  • ¾ teaspoon salt plus 1/8 teaspoon, divided

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper plus 1/8 teaspoon, divided

  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth

  • 3 medium cloves garlic, peeled

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 500°F.

  2. Toss potatoes, 3 tablespoons oil, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan (don't use glass, which could shatter).

  3. Roast, flipping once, until browned, about 30 minutes. Carefully add broth and garlic to the pan. Continue roasting until most of the broth is absorbed and the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes more. Remove the garlic cloves to a plate and mash.

  4. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, sour cream, mustard and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add the mashed garlic and continue whisking until smooth. Serve the potatoes topped with the lemon dressing.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
