Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Slice the larger potatoes in half lengthwise, leaving smaller ones whole for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down if halved. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the lemon-garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and half of the chopped parsley. Stir to combine and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the lemon-garlic butter sauce over the potatoes and gently toss to coat.
Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful Lemon Fingerling Potatoes!
