Roasted Lemon Potatoes
The comforting flavor of crispy new potatoes is complemented by the tangy, zesty lightness of lemons. This is a great, super easy side dish to lighten up the mood. Feel free to toss a few twigs of rosemary if you have them, and to be generous with your pepper grinder.
Ingredients:
2 pounds young Yukon gold potatoes, washed, unpeeled, cut into wedges or large pieces
5 tablespoons olive oil
Juice from 2 lemons
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste ( I use lots of pepper!)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C
In a large bowl toss potato wedges with the rest of the ingredients
Spread potatoes in a single layer in a heatproof pan (line pan with parchment paper if you have it)
Roast until golden brown and tender, about 35-50 minutes
Taste and correct seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt and pepper as needed
Enjoy immediately,
