This recipe uses minimal ingredients and is perfect for a quick side dish or a tasty snack. Follow these easy steps to create a flavorful and nutritious potato dish that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your oven is at the right temperature when the potatoes are ready to go in.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Use a scrub brush if necessary.
- Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges or cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
- Place the cut potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Toss the potatoes to evenly coat them in the oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt and ground cumin.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oil-coated potatoes. Toss the potatoes again to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly on both sides.
- The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can check this by inserting a fork or knife into the thickest piece; it should glide in easily.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips:
- Choose evenly sized potatoes to ensure they cook uniformly.
- For extra crispiness, you can soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before baking. Be sure to dry them thoroughly afterward.
- Consider adding extra herbs like rosemary or thyme for an enhanced flavor profile.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.
- Toss the potatoes halfway through baking to ensure they are evenly cooked and golden brown on all sides.
With just a few simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can create these delicious and zesty potatoes baked in lemon salt. This versatile dish can be paired with many mains or enjoyed on its own as a satisfying snack. Happy cooking and enjoy the crisp, flavorful potatoes!
