  5. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until edges begin to turn golden and potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Flip the potatoes and pour broth around them. Return to oven to infuse flavor.
  7. Continue roasting for 25-35 minutes, flipping every 10-15 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender.
  8. Let the potatoes rest for 5-10 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley or oregano and serving.
