Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chicken broth, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
  3. Wash and cut the yellow potatoes into wedges, ensuring they’re roughly the same size. Toss the potatoes in the lemon-herb mixture until coated.
