Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes under cold running water. Peel if desired and cut into 1-1.5 inch wedges or chunks.
  2. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30-60 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
  5. Add the potato pieces to the marinade and toss until well coated.
  6. Spread the coated potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes.
  7. Flip the potatoes and pour broth around them in the pan. Continue roasting for an additional 25-35 minutes.
  8. Check for doneness and increase temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 10-15 minutes for extra crispiness.
  9. Let the roasted potatoes rest for 5-10 minutes before garnishing with parsley or oregano.
