Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Greek Potatoes
  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cool running water. Peel if desired, then cut into 1-1.5 inch wedges or 1-inch chunks.
  2. Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 30-60 minutes, then drain and pat dry with kitchen towels.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the flavor-infused coating next.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potato pieces in this mixture.
  5. Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes without disturbing them.
  7. Carefully flip the potatoes over and pour broth around them, then return to the oven.
  8. Continue roasting for an additional 25-35 minutes, flipping every 10-15 minutes.
  9. Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 10-15 minutes for extra crispiness.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish and enjoy!
