Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish.

  3. In a bowl whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, paprika, and broth.
  4. Pour the lemon mixture over the potatoes and toss gently to coat.

Notes

For crispier potatoes avoid overcrowding the pan and use fresh lemon juice for best flavor.
