Ingredients

• 2 pounds red potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 whole lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast rather than steam.

Step 6

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 7

While the potatoes are roasting, zest the lemon and then juice it. Chop the fresh parsley finely.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.

Step 9

Drizzle the roasted potatoes with the lemon juice, sprinkle with lemon zest, and garnish with fresh parsley. Toss gently to combine.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite main course.
