Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and dry the Yukon gold potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the potato cubes to a large mixing bowl.
Zest the lemon using a microplane or fine grater and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and juice it into the bowl of potatoes.
Add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal crispiness.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet, toss the potatoes to ensure even cooking, and return them to the oven for an additional 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle the reserved lemon zest over them for a bright, citrusy finish.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl or platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Easy Lemon Pepper Potatoes!
