Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks for even roasting, about 2-inch pieces.
- Place the cut potatoes in a large pot.
- Fill the pot with cold water until the potatoes are just covered.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are slightly softened. Do not overcook, they should still be quite firm.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them steam dry for a few minutes. This will help them get crispy in the oven.
- Return the drained potatoes to the dry pot.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Toss the potatoes gently to ensure they are coated evenly with the oil and butter. This can help in creating a crispier texture.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the potatoes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
- Add 1 teaspoon of paprika.
- Toss the potatoes again to disperse the seasonings evenly.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. For extra crispiness, line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for about 30-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
- Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven.
- Optional: Garnish with some additional lemon zest or fresh herbs like parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish!
Tips:
- Make sure to turn the potatoes occasionally while roasting to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy on all sides.
- Allow the potatoes to steam dry after boiling to help them crisp up better in the oven.
- For an extra burst of freshness, you can squeeze a little lemon juice over the potatoes just before serving.
- Start by preheating the baking tray in the oven to promote better browning and a crispier finish.
Enjoy your crispy, golden roast potatoes with a vibrant kick from the paprika and a refreshing touch from the lemon zest. They are a fantastic addition to any meal and are sure to impress your family and guests with their unique flavor profile.
