Ingredients
  

  • 5 large potatoes Yukon Gold, Russet or similar, peeled
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon oregano dried
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 large lemon juiced (about 1/3 of a cup juice)
  • 1/2 cup broth (chicken or vegetable) or water (For Saucier potatoes: use 2 cups of broth. I recommend broth for the saucier potato but you can use either broth or water for the crispy potatoes)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Slice the potatoes into wedges and place them in a baking dish in a single layer.
  • Season the potatoes with garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Add the olive oil and lemon juice to the baking pan and toss the potatoes to coat them evenly.
  • Add broth (or water) to the baking pan. For crispy potatoes, add 1/2 cup of water or broth and for creamy/saucy potatoes, add 2 cups broth.
  • Roast in the oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the potatoes are golden on the outside and fork tender. [Note: Cook time will depend on the size of your potato wedges. Check on them at about 45 minutes and adjust the cook time as needed.]
