This recipe combines the zesty flavor of lemon juice with the richness of olive oil and butter, seasoned with oregano, salt, and pepper to create a tantalizing flavor profile.

Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
1 tsp dried oregano
5g
1 tsp salt
5g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1/3 cup butter
70g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized wedges or cubes to ensure even roasting.
3. Season Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to make sure all the potato pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the lemon juice and olive oil until well combined.
5. Coat Potatoes: Pour the lemon juice and olive oil mixture over the seasoned potatoes, and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.
6. Add Butter: Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them over the potatoes for added richness.
7. Arrange in Baking Pan: Transfer the coated potatoes to a baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly.
8. Roast: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 45-50 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, gently stir or flip the potatoes to ensure even cooking and to get a nice, crispy texture on all sides.
9. Check for Doneness: The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can test this by piercing a potato piece with a fork or knife; it should go through easily.
10. Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Then, transfer them to a serving dish and serve warm.

Tips:

- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

- For extra crispiness, you can parboil the potatoes for a few minutes before roasting.

- Feel free to add some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor.

- Mix the potatoes halfway through the roasting process to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a golden-brown color on all sides.

- You can use parchment paper on your baking tray to prevent the potatoes from sticking and to make cleanup easier.

These roasted lemon potatoes are a delicious addition to any meal, providing a wonderful balance of zesty and savory flavors. They are easy to prepare and require minimal ingredients, making them a fantastic choice for both weeknight dinners and special occasions. Serve them hot and enjoy the delightful combination of crispiness on the outside and tenderness on the inside.
