Ingredients

• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges, approximately 1 inch thick.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 4

Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss to thoroughly coat them in the marinade.

Step 5

Transfer the coated potatoes to the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the dish to add moisture while cooking.

Step 6

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, stir or flip the potatoes to ensure even browning.

Step 7

Continue roasting for another 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
