Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes, halved

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that perfect crispy exterior.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated with the delicious seasonings.

      Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a large baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This is key for them to get crispy!

        Bake: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through (around the 15-minute mark), toss the potatoes with a spatula to ensure even cooking and browning.

          Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven, and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your crispy lemon garlic potatoes as a delightful side dish!
