Want a fast potato side dish? No peeling required! Just scrub, chop, toss, bake, and sprinkle. Done.
For 4 servings
3 large baking potatoes, washed and patted dry
3 tbsp. EV olive oil
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
zest and juice of 1 organic lemon
3 tbsp. chopped fresh herbs ** try different combinations such as parsley, dill and chives, or rosemary, oregano, and thyme
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, then each half into 4-6 wedges. Toss in a bowl with oil , salt, pepper and lemon zest. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking. Place in a serving dish, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
These weren’t as crispy as I would have liked. Next time I’ll try finishing them off in the broiler for a minute or two.
I love doing this with potatoes. This looks lovely.
