Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your potatoes are.
- Wash and peel the potatoes (optional; you can leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients).
- Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized chunks or wedges, ensuring uniformity for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato chunks, olive oil, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting and crisping.
- For extra crispiness, you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp up evenly on all sides.
The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender and fluffy on the inside. If needed, you can roast for an additional 5-10 minutes to reach your desired level of crispiness.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with additional lemon zest or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley for a fresh finish.
Serve your crisp garlic lemon potatoes hot as a side dish with your favorite main course. They pair beautifully with roasted meats, grilled fish, or as a zesty addition to a vegetarian meal.
Tips:
- For extra crispiness, parboil the potatoes for 5-7 minutes before roasting them.
- Ensure that the potatoes are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet to achieve even browning.
- Toss the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp evenly on all sides.
- If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, try adding an extra clove of garlic or using garlic powder.
- For an added layer of flavor, consider garnishing the potatoes with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese after baking.
These crisp garlic lemon potatoes are a versatile and delicious side dish that can complement a variety of meals. With minimal ingredients and straightforward preparation, you can quickly elevate your dining experience. Enjoy the perfect combination of crispy, zesty, and savory flavors in every bite. Happy cooking!
