Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by washing the Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel them if you prefer, then cut the potatoes into consistent 1-1.5 inch wedges.
- Place the cut potato wedges in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30-60 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving golden-brown color and crispy texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the dried potato wedges and toss well.
- Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to allow hot air to circulate.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes without disturbing them.
- After the initial roast, carefully flip the potatoes and add vegetable or chicken broth around the edges of the baking sheet.
- Continue roasting for an additional 25-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes every 10-15 minutes for consistent color and crispness.
- Once roasted to perfection, let the Greek Potatoes rest for about 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or oregano before serving.

Notes
Serve fresh for the best flavor; they taste best immediately after cooking. If needed, they can remain at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
