Roasting Mixture
- 1 large lemon, juiced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 ¾ cups chicken stock
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 4 garlic cloves, grated
- 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for roasting the potatoes evenly.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Place the potato wedges into a large baking dish, arranging them so they fit comfortably without overcrowding.
- Make the Roasting Mixture: In a measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, chicken stock, water, dried oregano, grated garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Coat the Potatoes: Pour the prepared mixture over the potato wedges, then toss them gently to ensure each wedge is evenly coated with the flavorful marinade.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer within the baking dish to promote even roasting. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring once halfway through to brown all sides evenly. The potatoes should be tender inside and golden brown on the outside when done.
