Crisp and buttery roasted potatoes infused with the flavors of lemon and garlic. These Lemon and Garlic Roasted Potatoes are excellent side dish choice for a wide variety of main dishes.
These roasty, toasty potatoes are one of my favorite, super simple sides to serve along side almost anything.
Say that ten times fast.
They are easy, foolproof, and incredibly tasty and I make them so often that I just had to share them with you. Sharing is caring…or something like that. Let’s get cooking!
Instructions
Pick up 2 pounds of baby red or yellow potatoes at the grocery store. I’m using a combo of both this time around. Give them a good rinse and drain them well.
Cut the potatoes in half and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add a little melted butter, some olive oil, a good amount of fresh minced garlic, salt, and the juice from an entire lemon. Always go for Meyer lemons if you can get your hands on them. They are super juicy and a bit sweeter than the regular variety.
Transfer the potatoes to a large rimmed baking sheet that you’ve coated with non-stick cooking spray. Pop them in a 375 degree oven and let them roast for about 40 to 45 minutes or until fork-tender and golden brown. Toss them with a spatula about every 15 minutes while they cook.
After they roast, add a bit more salt, if needed.
They are also excellent served with some scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Enjoy!

I have to try your potato dish! I never squeezed lemon on potatoes before and I can’t wait to try that. As long as I’m around, we have no potato leftover in my house, but I’ll try my best to leave some so that I can try other recipes. 😀 I wondered how you use big sour cream package you usually buy, but now I know – you use it here and there like this. I try to buy the smallest sour cream package (I’m lack of recipes) but I will slowly learn how to make use of it from you! 😉
