Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1.5-inch wedges. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.

  3. In a large roasting pan, whisk together chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  4. Add the potato wedges to the sauce and toss gently to coat. Arrange in a single layer.
  5. Roast the potatoes for about 90 minutes, stirring every 20-30 minutes.
  6. Check for tenderness after 90 minutes; if needed, continue roasting, checking every 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
