These Lemon Garlic Roasted Potatoes are crisp, buttery and infused with the flavors of lemon and garlic. They are an easy, fuss-free side dish for a wide variety of main dishes.

This recipe, like my Parsley Potatoes, and Roasted Sweet Potatoes, is an easy, versatile potato side dish that I turn to over and over again.

The combination of ingredients and cooking method create crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside potatoes with irresistible flavor. They are one of my favorite, super simple sides to serve with almost anything.

This easy recipe is foolproof and incredibly tasty. The lemony flavor profile is similar to my Greek Potatoes but this no-fuss recipe calls for just 5 ingredients and is easy as can be to make.

Super quick prep and no peeling required!

• Baby potatoes – A couple of pounds of baby red or gold potatoes – or a combination of both!
• Butter and olive oil – Butter adds great flavor and olive oil helps crisp the potatoes.
• Minced garlic
• Lemon – The juice from one lemon. I love using Meyer lemons when they are available.
• Salt

1. Cut the potatoes in half or quarter them as needed so they are equal sized.
2. Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and toss with the melted butter and olive oil.
3. Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and season to taste with salt.
4. Pour the potatoes out over a baking sheet that you’ve coated with nonstick cooking spray. Then, roast in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 40 minutes, tossing with a spatula every 15 minutes or so.
