Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fingerling potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the fingerling potatoes under cool water and pat them dry. Slice larger potatoes in half lengthwise and leave smaller ones whole to ensure even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well to coat.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down if sliced. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
While the potatoes roast, prepare the lemony garlic dressing. In a small skillet over low heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, fresh thyme, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them back to the large mixing bowl while still warm. Pour the lemony garlic dressing over the potatoes and gently toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the dressed potatoes on a serving platter and garnish with extra parsley or thyme if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
