Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lbs. Russet or other starchy potatoes peeled and cut into thin wedges
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest preferably organic
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 400°F.
  2. Prep and arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a large cast iron skillet. Sprinkle with the garlic powder and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  3. Whisk together the chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and oregano in a medium bowl and pour over the potatoes.
