Ingredients

  • 3 lbs little yellow potatoes
  • 2 lemons, zested and juiced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, or 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Cut the little potatoes into quarters (4 pieces).
  • In a large bowl whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, thyme leaves, salt and black pepper.
  • Add the cut potatoes and toss to coat the potatoes evenly. 
  • Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If needed, use two sheet pans and rotate the pans when you flip the potatoes. Pour any excess oil and lemon juice over the potatoes.
  • Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes and then gently flip them.
  • Roast for another 20-30 minutes until the potatoes have crisp edges and are fork tender.
  • Garnish with some extra salt, a little lemon zest and fresh parsley. Serve with your favorite main dish and enjoy!
