Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into wedges. Each large potato should be cut into about eight wedges.
Crush the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and remove the skins.
Zest the lemon and set aside the zest, then juice the lemon fully.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, chicken or vegetable broth, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well incorporated.
Add the potato wedges to the mixture and toss to coat them evenly.
Transfer the potato wedges and any remaining marinade to a large baking dish, ensuring they are spread in a single layer for even cooking.
Add the crushed garlic cloves between the potatoes for infusion of flavor.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully stir the potatoes to ensure they roast evenly, then continue to cook for another 20-30 minutes, until they are golden brown and tender.
Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle with lemon zest and freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish to your favorite main dishes.
