Roast potatoes with paprika & lemon salt

Roast potatoes with paprika & lemon salt is a delightful side dish that combines the earthy flavors of potatoes with the zesty freshness of lemon and the slight heat of paprika. This recipe is perfect for adding a vibrant twist to your usual roasted potatoes, making a versatile accompaniment that pairs well with a variety of mains.

Ingredients:

6 potatoes
1200g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tbsp butter
30g
1 tsp salt
5g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 tsp paprika
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks for even roasting, about 2-inch pieces.
3. Boil the Potatoes:
- 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.
4. Drain and Steam Dry:
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them steam dry for a few minutes. This will help them get crispy in the oven.
5. Toss with Olive Oil and Butter:
- 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.
6. Add Seasonings:
- 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.
7. Roast the Potatoes:
- 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.
8. Serve:
- 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.
