Method
Preparation
- Wash and scrub the potatoes. Peel if desired. Cut into consistent 1-1.5 inch wedges or 1-inch chunks.
- Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30-60 minutes to draw out excess starch. Drain thoroughly and pat them extremely dry with clean towels.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) with an oven rack in the middle position.
- In a very large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the thoroughly dried potato pieces and toss vigorously to coat.
- Spread the marinated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet or roasting pan, ensuring no overcrowding.
Roasting
- Roast for an initial 20-25 minutes without disturbing them.
- Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Flip the potato pieces and pour the broth directly into the baking pan around the potatoes. Return to the oven.
- Continue roasting for another 25-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes every 10-15 minutes until golden-brown and crispy.
- The total roasting time will be approximately 50-60 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and crispy.
- For ultimate crispiness, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 10-15 minutes, or use the broiler for 1-3 minutes.
Serving
- Remove the baking sheet(s) from the oven and let the Greek Potatoes rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or oregano.
Notes
These potatoes can be made ahead of time. Store in the fridge for 3–5 days; reheat in an oven to restore crispiness. You can increase garlic for more flavor or swap herbs for variety.
