Here’s a delicious and simple way to make Lemon Garlic Potatoes—bright, flavorful, and perfect as a side dish:
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 2 lbs (≈900 g) potatoes, cut into wedges or cubes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Potatoes: Toss potato wedges in olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Add Lemon Flavor: Sprinkle lemon zest over the potatoes and drizzle with half the lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast: Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Finish with Lemon: After baking, drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the potatoes and toss lightly.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for freshness. Serve hot.
Tip: For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 20–30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.
If you like, I can also give you a one-pan stovetop version that’s quicker but just as zesty and garlicky. Do you want that version too?
