- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 pieces rosemary sprigs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Place the rosemary sprigs among the potatoes on the baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. Stir halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
