3. Place the lamb on a rack in your roasting pan, top it with some of the marinade and place enough water in the pan to cover the bottom without touching the lamb.Cover in foil and roast in a preheated 450F oven on the middle rack until tender enough to easily pull from the bone, about 2-4 hours, adding more water if needed.Reduce the heat to 350F and roast until browned, remove from the oven cover in foil and let rest.
4. Remove the drippings from the pan reserving them.Skim off a few tablespoons of the fat from the drippings and toss the potato wedges in them along with the juice of one lemon, oregano, salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cut the remaining lemons into wedges, add them to the pan along with the potato wedges and roast at 450F until the potatoes are tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, about 30-45 minutes.
