Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby potatoes, halved

1/4 cup olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.

      Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down. Ensure ample space between potatoes for even crisping.

        Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time, until golden brown and crispy.

          Final Touch: Once crispy and cooked through, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

            Garnish and Serve: Transfer the crispy lemon garlic potatoes to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
