Whether served alongside grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as part of a holiday spread, these boldly flavorful potatoes will steal the spotlight.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Thoroughly wash and scrub the new potatoes. If the potatoes are large, cut them in half or into bite-sized pieces; otherwise, leave them whole.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil, Kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until evenly coated.
Smash the garlic cloves gently with the flat side of a knife to release their aroma. Add the smashed garlic and rosemary sprigs to the bowl with the potatoes, tossing again to combine.
Spread the potatoes, garlic, and rosemary mixture out evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the potatoes are in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, tossing the potatoes halfway through. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Discard the rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves (if desired). Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with the lemon zest and drizzle with the fresh lemon juice.
Serve immediately while warm, garnished with additional rosemary or lemon zest if desired. Enjoy!
