Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into 1.5-inch wedges. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) for even cooking.
  3. Make Sauce: In a large roasting pan, combine chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until well-blended.
  4. Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Add potato wedges to sauce, tossing gently until well-coated.
  5. Roast: Spread potatoes in a single layer and roast for 90 minutes, stirring every 20-30 minutes.
  6. Check Doneness: After 90 minutes, check for golden color. If not, increase oven to 425°F and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let rest for about 10 minutes before serving warm.
