Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. Yukon gold potatoes (5-6 medium potatoes; cut into wedges, skin left on)

6 tbsp Lemon juice (from 3 lemons)

1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup Chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped

3/4 tsp Garlic powder

1 tsp Dried oregano

1/2 tsp Sea salt 

1/4 tsp Black pepper 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).

Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, olive oil, chicken broth, parsley, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well, coating all pieces of potato.

Place the seasoned potatoes in a large baking dish. Pour any liquid remaining at the bottom of the bowl over them. Roast in the middle of the oven for 25 minutes.

Remove potatoes from the oven and toss carefully with a spoon. Place them back in the oven and increase the temperature to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Roast for about 25 minutes, until the liquid in the baking dish has evaporated and the potatoes are crispy.

If desired, season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve Greek lemon potatoes with additional fresh parsley.
