Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space to roast rather than steam.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
While the potatoes are roasting, finely mince the fresh mint leaves and garlic cloves. Combine the mint, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven once they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Transfer the hot potatoes back into the mixing bowl and toss them with the mint, garlic, and lemon zest mixture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
Serve immediately as a vibrant, flavorful side dish!
