Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges or cubes with the olive oil, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast rather than steam.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional sprigs of rosemary and a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest for an extra pop of flavor.
Tips
- For added richness, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
- Try using baby potatoes for a more elegant presentation, roasting them whole for a beautiful and rustic touch.
- Experiment with other herbs like thyme or oregano if rosemary isn't available.
