Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by washing your Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut them into 1 to 1.5-inch wedges, maximizing their crispy potential.
- Soak the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water for 30 to 60 minutes; this helps to remove excess starch, promoting a crunchier texture once roasted.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, good quality extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the dried potato wedges to the bowl with the marinade, tossing gently until each piece is well coated.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the marinated potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes without disturbance.
- After the initial roasting time, carefully flip the potato wedges using a spatula for even cooking. Pour vegetable or chicken broth around the potatoes.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 25 to 35 minutes, flipping every 10 to 15 minutes.
- Once the roasted potatoes are ready, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or oregano before serving.
