Ingredients

2 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

1 lemon (juice and zest)

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 tsp 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: Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. If they're large, halve them; otherwise, leave them whole for even roasting.

Make the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

Coat the Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are fully coated. Ensure they are evenly seasoned.

Roast the Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Cooking Time: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.

Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
