Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Greek Lemon Potatoes
  1. Begin by peeling your choice of starchy potatoes and cut them into 1.5-inch wedges. Rinse the potato wedges in cold water to remove excess starch.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a roasting pan, whisk together the chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Add the drained potato wedges to the sauce in the roasting pan and toss to coat evenly. Arrange the wedges in a single layer.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, stirring every 20-30 minutes.
  6. After 90 minutes, check the potatoes for tenderness and color. If needed, continue roasting for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  7. Once done, allow the potatoes to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
