Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Lemon Potatoes
  1. Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into 1.5-inch wedges. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and ensure the rack is in the middle position.
  3. Pat the potato wedges dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  4. In a large roasting pan, whisk together the broth, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  5. Add the potato wedges to the mixture and toss to ensure they are well coated.
  6. Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer and roast for about 90 minutes, stirring every 20-30 minutes.
  7. Check for tenderness and golden-brown coloring, roasting for an additional 10 to 15 minutes if necessary.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the potatoes rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
