Equipment

  • Oven-safe roasting pan or baking dish or rimmed baking sheet
  • Measuring pitcher or large bowl
  • Small whisk or fork

Ingredients

  • 2 potatoes large
  • 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 sprigs fresh oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Cut the potatoes into wedges and arrange them in a single layer in the baking dish.
  • Combine the chicken broth, olive oil, dried thyme, garlic, red pepper flakes, and the juice of half a lemon, black pepper, and salt (to taste). I used ½ teaspoon.
  • Pour the mixture over the potatoes and top with the fresh oregano sprigs and the remaining half lemon, cut into thin wedges.
  • Bake at 300 degrees for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
  • To crisp up the potatoes, you can broil them for a few minutes toward the end of the cooking process. Do not take your eyes off them as they broil, as they burn easily.
  • Let sit for 3-5 minutes before adding garnishes and serving.
