Crispy Lemon Garlic Roasted Potatoes
Golden, crispy potatoes with a hint of lemon and a vibrant garlic flavor make a delightful side dish for any dinner. As they roast, the potatoes become perfectly tender inside with a satisfyingly crunchy exterior.
For best results, use Yukon Gold potatoes, which hold their shape well during cooking. If you don’t have fresh lemons, lemon zest can add a similar brightness. To experiment, try mixing in some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme toward the end of roasting.
These potatoes pair wonderfully with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or even a hearty stew. They are also great for casual gatherings or a comforting weeknight dinner. For added texture, sprinkle Parmesan before serving.
