Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 whole lemon, juiced
  • 1 whole lemon, zested
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and dry them. Cut larger ones in half.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the potatoes in a baking dish, pour the marinade over them, and toss to coat.
Roasting
  1. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes, turning halfway.
  2. Once golden and crispy, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For variety, try Yukon Golds or fingerling potatoes. Check potatoes around the 30-minute mark for doneness. Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
