Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 large Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Slice any larger potatoes in half to ensure uniform cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl with the potatoes, being careful to avoid any seeds.
Add the minced garlic and lemon zest to the bowl and toss again until the potatoes are well coated with the mixture.
Spread the potatoes evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30–35 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. The potatoes should be golden brown and fork-tender when done.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an optional pop of color and freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your Lemon Garlic Potato Packer!
