Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes (red or yellow)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 3 tbsp Fresh chives
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut them in half if they are larger, keeping smaller ones whole for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the potatoes, tossing well to coat them evenly in the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down if halved. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the lemon juice and lemon zest until smooth.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside for garnish.
Once the potatoes are ready, transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle or dollop the lemony sour cream mixture over the top.
Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with the chopped chives and serve immediately. Enjoy these zesty potatoes as a delightful side dish!
