→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2.5 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into eighths
02 -
1.5 cups chicken broth
03 -
0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
04 -
0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
05 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
06 -
1 tablespoon dried oregano or 2-3 tablespoons fresh oregano
07 -
1 teaspoon sea salt
08 -
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
09 -
Sprinkle of paprika, optional
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Cut peeled potatoes into thick wedges by halving lengthwise, then quartering each half for uniform pieces.
02 -
Whisk together broth, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a 13×9 inch baking dish.
03 -
Add wedges to the dish and toss to coat evenly. Spread in a single layer, allowing some to remain elevated.
04 -
Bake uncovered at 350°F for 90 minutes. Do not stir. Allow liquid to reduce and potatoes to crisp.
05 -
Remove from oven and rest 10 minutes to allow flavors to settle and textures to firm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Vegetable broth can be used instead of chicken broth for a vegetarian version.
02 -
Preheat the baking dish for 5 minutes to encourage better browning.
03 -
Let cut potatoes sit at room temperature 10 minutes to release starch before baking.
04 -
Reheat leftovers in a single layer at 350°F for 15–20 minutes for crisp texture.
05 -
Quality extra virgin olive oil dramatically enhances flavor and texture.
