  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds small potatoes (halved or quartered)
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano (or parsley, or rosemary)
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Garnish

  • Thyme and oregano (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Season the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered potatoes with 2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Roast: Spread the potatoes cut side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Shake or flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
  4. Make the dressing: While the potatoes roast, whisk together 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped fresh oregano (or your choice of parsley or rosemary), red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
  5. Dress the potatoes: Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. While still warm, toss them gently with the prepared dressing. Use as much dressing as you like to coat the potatoes without making them soggy.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh thyme and oregano over the dressed potatoes. Serve the potatoes warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • You can use different herbs like rosemary or parsley depending on your preference.
  • For extra crispiness, make sure to spread the potatoes in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes for desired spice level.
  • These potatoes are best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven.
