    Garlic and Lemon Roasted Potatoes

    Feb 15, 2017 | by Jennifer | Last Updated: Dec 1, 2021

    Jump to Recipe

    These garlic and lemon potatoes are quick oven roasted mini potatoes, cooked until golden, then tossed in a garlic herb butter and served with a drizzle of lemon.

    These potatoes might just be my favourite way to enjoy potatoes. They are enjoyed here often as a quick, easy and delicious side dish. They are a great side for simple grilled meat, as they are loaded with flavour.

    The potatoes roast up quickly in a hot oven, with a golden bottom and creamy soft insides. As soon as they are cooked, they are quickly tossed in garlic, herbs and butter (or olive oil) and served with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice.

    Cook's Notes

    A cast iron skillet is perfect for getting a great golden bottom on your potatoes, but you need to make sure that your potatoes are all lying flat on the bottom. If you only have a small skillet and you want lots of potatoes, go with a baking sheet instead.

    I have made these potatoes with all butter, half butter/half olive oil and all olive oil. They are delicious any way, so it's really up to your personal preference.

    I love these with mini potatoes, because they are so lovely and creamy, but you could also make these with larger potatoes. I think a yellow-fleshed or white potato would be fine. Simply cut in to large chunks. I would leave the skin on, but that's just me :)

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 425 F.
    • Pour olive oil on to a baking sheet or cast iron skillet and brush to spread in to a thin even layer. Sprinkle evenly with Kosher salt. Place potato halves, cut side down in a single layer on baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until under-side of potatoes are golden brown.
    • When potatoes are almost finished roasting, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic is soft and fragrant, but not browned. Turn off heat under pan. Add parsley and thyme. Stir to combine.
    • As soon as potatoes are removed from the oven. Spoon in to skillet with garlic herb butter. Toss to coat, then remove to a serving plate. Sprinkle with flaky salt and drizzle with fresh lemon.

      Thank you for such a yummy side dish. My husband had bought a large bag of small potatoes and I had no idea what to do with them. Since i had some leftover bacon, I added it along with some purple onion I didn't want to throw away. The recipe would be great without the additions I made. Next time I will make as is. Love the garlic and seasonings. I baked mine longer, probably 40 minutes since I need food to be soft due to my braces lol. Thanks!

      Good evening, Jennifer

      first of all I would like to tell you that all your recipes are favolous.

      I am going to prepare these potatoes but I can't decide with what kind of main course to serve them.

      Can you suggest something to me.

      Maybe salmon or chichen baked in the oven?

      Thank you very much in advance.

        Hi Aleksandra, I think oven roasted chicken or salmon would be great. They would also be great with souvlaki (chicken or pork). Lemon potatoes are very popular in Greek menus.

      I've never met a potato I didn't like, so you know I'm drooling over these! I love that you used mini potatoes and left the skins on - that's my all time favorite way of enjoying them! SO CRISPY AND DELICIOUS! The garlic herb butter and drizzle of lemon sounds fabulous! I could totally just eat these 'taters for dinner (or breakfast). Cheers, Jennifer!
