  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Feel free to omit for a lighter flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano Fresh oregano can also be used.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk together.
  4. Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the oil mixture and coat them gently.
  5. Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on a large sheet pan.
  6. Pour the broth around the edges of the pan, ensuring the potatoes remain above it.
  7. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, checking for tenderness halfway through.
  8. Once crispy and golden, remove from oven and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top.
