Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams Yukon Gold potatoes
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 45 milliliters Fresh lemon juice
- 1 whole lemon Lemon zest
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel the potatoes and chop them into bite-sized chunks, approximately 2-3 cm in size.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the potatoes. Parboil for 8-10 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and allow them to steam dry for 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Place the parboiled potatoes on a large baking tray, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer for even roasting. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary sprigs.
Drizzle the lemon-oil mixture evenly over the potatoes and toss them gently to coat.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure they crisp up evenly.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to settle.
Garnish with a few extra sprigs of rosemary or an additional sprinkle of lemon zest before serving, if desired.
