Ingredients

1 ½ lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced, grated, or pressed
2 teaspoons minced fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish: additional fresh dill; grated fresh lemon zest or freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 teaspoon)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes, olive oil, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes for 40-50 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside and fork tender. Stir the potatoes halfway through so that they brown evenly. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired, and grate fresh lemon zest over top or squeeze with fresh lemon juice just before serving.

Notes

Make sure that your potatoes are very dry before tossing them with the other ingredients. You don’t want extra moisture on the potatoes or they will steam in the oven and won’t be nearly as crispy.

Cut the potatoes into uniform size pieces so that they cook evenly.

Fresh dill is always best, but you can substitute with dried herbs in a pinch. If using dried dill, decrease the amount to about 1 teaspoon.

The total roasting time will vary depending on the size of your potato pieces and on how crispy you like them. They might be done in as little as 40 minutes, or they might require up to 1 hour. Just keep an eye on them and pull them out when they’re just how you like them!

Garnish the roasted potatoes with grated lemon zest for a more prominent lemon flavor, or just drizzle with a touch of fresh lemon juice for a subtle, bright finishing touch.
