Lemon Herb Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe for Lemon Herb Roasted Potatoes involves partially slicing potatoes and nestling flavorful oil inside the slits before roasting. The oil mixture includes olive oil and melted butter combined with minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and honey, balanced with salt and pepper. The acid and sweetness in the lemon and honey enhance the potatoes' flavor and help achieve a slightly caramelized exterior.
The potatoes roast at a moderate temperature, with basting occurring at intervals to coat all sides and intensify the taste. This method yields potatoes that are soft and fluffy inside with fragrant, well-seasoned outsides. The lemon and parsley add fresh, bright notes, making these potatoes a complementary side for poultry, pork, or fish dishes.
Ingredients
Oil Mixture:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, Italian variety, leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 dashes black pepper ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Cut slits in the potatoes without cutting all the way through. In a separate bowl, mix all the ingredients for the Oil Mixture together.
- Place the potatoes in a roasting pan and brush them with the oil mixture, ensuring to coat the inside of the slits. Reserve some of the mixture for basting later.
- Roast the potatoes for 1 hour, basting with the remaining oil mixture at 30-minute intervals. Serve immediately after roasting.
