These roasted potatoes are an awesome and flavorful side dish. Fingerling potatoes are cut into bite sized pieces and then tossed in a lemon and oregano marinade for great mediterranean inspired taste.
The potatoes are roasted in the oven in this marinade of lemon juice, chicken broth and olive oil. The marinade flavors the outside potatoes, but it also gets absorbed into the potatoes as they cook, making the potatoes tender and flavorful, but also getting a nice crispy exterior.
