  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ pounds baking potatoes peeled and cut into thick wedges
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced

For the Potatoes:

  • In a large 13x9 inch baking dish, combine the chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is blended.
  • Add the potato wedges to the dish and gently stir until they are completely coated in the mixture.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the potatoes uncovered for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Test for doneness with a fork; if not tender yet, bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Let the potatoes sit in the baking dish for 10 minutes after removing them from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with paprika before serving for added color and a hint of spice.
