• 1/2 cup (120ml) Good Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

1. {'@type': 'HowToStep', 'text': 'Wash and scrub potatoes. Peel if desired. Cut into consistent 1-1.5 inch wedges or 1-inch chunks.'}
2. {'@type': 'HowToStep', 'text': '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; this is crucial for crispiness.'}
3. {'@type': 'HowToStep', 'text': 'Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) with an oven rack in the middle position.'}
4. {'@type': 'HowToStep', 'text': '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 ensure every piece is evenly coated with the marinade.'}
5. {'@type': 'HowToStep', 'text': 'Spread the marinated potatoes in a single layer on a large, sturdy baking sheet or roasting pan, ensuring no overcrowding. Use two sheets if necessary to give each piece space.'}
6. {'@type': 'HowToStep', 'text': 'Roast for an initial 20-25 minutes without disturbing them.'}
7. {'@type': 'HowToStep', 'text': 'Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Using a sturdy spatula, flip the potato pieces. Pour the 1/2 cup of vegetable or chicken broth (or water) directly into the baking pan, around the potatoes. Return to the oven.'}
8. {'@type': 'HowToStep', 'text': 'Continue roasting for another 25-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes every 10-15 minutes to encourage even browning and crispiness. Scrape up any delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pan and reincorporate them.'}
9. {'@type': 'HowToStep', 'text': 'The total roasting time will be approximately 50-60 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender inside and gloriously golden-brown and crispy outside. For ultimate crispiness, you can increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 10-15 minutes, or use the broiler for 1-3 minutes (watch very closely to prevent burning).'}
10. {'@type': 'HowToStep', 'text': 'Once done, remove the baking sheet(s) from the oven and let the Greek Potatoes rest in the pan for about 5-10 minutes, uncovered, to allow flavors to meld and temperature to equalize. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or oregano (optional) just before serving. Enjoy!'}
