Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red)

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 large lemon

Juice of 1 large lemon

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half (or quarters if they are larger).

      Mix the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.

        Coat the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved potatoes. Pour the marinade over the potatoes and toss them until all potatoes are evenly coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

            Roasting: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Halfway through, give them a good stir to ensure even cooking and browning. The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender inside.

              Final Touches: Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

                Serve: Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and serve warm with additional lemon wedges on the side for that extra citrus kick.
