I've never had oven fried potatoes with lemon juice. I'll be having them again though as these were delicious. My son and son in law loved them too. They both love salt and vinegar potato chips and said these reminded them a bit of those.
I'm editing this to include my notes to Zosia.
I was skeptical at first about the water and amount of olive oil. Despite this all was absorbed or evaporated and resulted in mostly crispy potatoes after drizzling with the lemon juice for the final cook time. I loved the crispest ones the best that were closest to the edges of the pan. I did make a mistake and lined my pan with cheep aluminum foil thinking clean up would be easier but for some reason they stuck in places and I lost some of potato goodness. I did remove the foil before the final bake time with the lemon juice.
