Heat oven to 500 degrees. Place potatoes in a 10-by-15-inch baking dish.

Add water, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Toss potatoes until well coated.

Bake uncovered about 50 minutes, until fork-tender and brown on the edges. Turn potatoes halfway through for even browning; add water if all the liquid has been absorbed.

If desired, garnish with oregano; serve.
