Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.
Mince the garlic cloves finely. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano leaves, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated in the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting and crisping.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; it should be tender on the inside and crispy on the edges when done.
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle with lemon zest and gently toss to combine.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course, and enjoy!
