Lemon Herb Roasted Potatoes
Whip up Lemon Herb Roasted Potatoes for a flavorful side dish. Simple, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. Find out how.
Ingredients
- 6-8 large russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1 1/2 to 2-inch pieces
- juice from one lemon
- ¼ to 1/3 cup olive oil or a mix of butter and olive oil is also great
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp coarse black pepper
- 1 1/2 tbsp dried herbs oregano, thyme, and rosemary work well
- 1 garlic bulb separated into about 4 pieces, optional
Instructions
- In salted water, parboil the potato chunks for approximately 3-4 minutes.
- While the potatoes parboil, preheat a baking pan in a 375°F oven. Ensure the pan is adequately heated to help prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- Drain the parboiled potatoes and let them sit for 5 minutes. Toss the potatoes with the lemon juice, allowing them to absorb it thoroughly.
- Combine the potatoes with the salt, pepper, herbs, garlic pieces, and olive oil.
- Place the seasoned potatoes, garlic, and oil into the preheated baking pan. The potatoes should sizzle upon contact, indicating they won't stick.
- Roast the potatoes for about 60-75 minutes, or until they achieve a golden brown color, turning them every 20 minutes. Shake the pan after the first 10 minutes to ensure the potatoes aren't sticking. Remove the roasted garlic if it cooks faster than the potatoes.
