Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast rather than steam.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
While the potatoes are roasting, zest the lemon and then juice it. Chop the fresh parsley finely.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the roasted potatoes with the lemon juice, sprinkle with lemon zest, and garnish with fresh parsley. Toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite main course.
