Ingredients:

1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
3 tsp lemon zest
6g
6 garlic cloves
18g
9 potatoes
1920g
1/3 cup olive oil
70g
2 tsp salt
12g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prep Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about 1-2 inches wide.
3. Prepare the Garlic: Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, you can use a garlic press instead.
4. Zest the Lemons: Using a fine grater or zester, zest enough lemons to yield 3 teaspoons of lemon zest. Make sure to only zest the yellow part of the skin, as the white part (pith) can be bitter.
5. Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato chunks, minced garlic, lemon zest, ⅓ cup of olive oil, and 2 tsp of salt. Toss well until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
6. Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. It's important not to overcrowd the potatoes to ensure they roast properly.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the potatoes for about 45-50 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Halfway through the roasting time, stir the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
8. Final Seasoning: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and place them back in the mixing bowl. Immediately sprinkle ¼ tsp of salt over the hot potatoes and toss to distribute evenly.
9. Serve: Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with additional lemon zest or fresh herbs, such as parsley, if desired.
10. Enjoy: Serve the lemon-garlic roasted potatoes hot as a delicious side dish with your favorite main course.

Tips:

- Use fresh lemon zest and garlic for the most vibrant flavors.

- Cut the potatoes into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Preheat the oven to ensure the potatoes roast evenly and develop a nice crispy exterior.

- Toss the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they roast evenly on all sides.

- For an extra touch of flavor, add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme before roasting.

Lemon-Garlic Roasted Potatoes are a wonderful side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses.
