Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves finely. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano leaves, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated in the seasoning.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting and crisping.

Step 6

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

Step 7

Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; it should be tender on the inside and crispy on the edges when done.

Step 8

Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle with lemon zest and gently toss to combine.

Step 9

Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course, and enjoy!
