Combining zesty lemon, aromatic herbs, and savory garlic, these roasted potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Instructions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes if desired (keeping the skin on can add extra texture and nutrients).
- Cut the potatoes into small, bite-sized nuggets, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
- Place the potato nuggets in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the 5 teaspoons of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Add the chopped 1.5 tablespoons of fresh rosemary and the minced 12 garlic cloves.
- Pour the 4 tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes.
- Using either a spoon or your hands, gently toss the potato nuggets in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the lemon juice, oil, and seasonings.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Spread the seasoned potato nuggets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that the nuggets are not too crowded; this allows for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for about 35-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Halfway through the baking time (around 20 minutes), use a spatula to turn the potato nuggets to ensure even browning.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
- Transfer the lemon-herb roasted potato nuggets to a serving dish.
- For an additional burst of flavor, sprinkle some fresh chopped rosemary or a light drizzle of fresh lemon juice over the potatoes before serving.
Tips:
- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for best results.
- Toss the potatoes well with the olive oil and seasonings to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Keep an eye on the potatoes as they roast, and stir them halfway through cooking for even browning.
These lemon-herb roasted potato nuggets are a perfect addition to any meal. The crispy exterior and tender interior, infused with lemon, herbs, and garlic, make for an irresistible side dish. Enjoy them with your favorite main course or even as a tasty snack!
