How To Make Lemon Herb Roasted Potatoes
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Cut slits in the potatoes without cutting all the way through. Mix all the ingredients for the oil mixture together.
Step 2. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan and brush them with the oil mixture, making sure to coat inside the slits. Reserve some of the mixture for basting.
Step 3. Roast the potatoes for 1 hour, basting with the remaining oil mixture at 30-minute intervals. Serve immediately after roasting.
Cooking Tips
- As a trick to cut these potatoes perfectly, line up two chopsticks horizontally on each side of the potato. Then, use a knife to cut vertically. This will help you not cut all the way through the potatoes.
- Then, butter up the potatoes in the spices, making sure to get it in between each potato slice.
- Your potatoes will be roasted to perfection, soaking in every flavor!

I used Butter Potatoes everyone loved them so easy and looks impressive for a dinner party
I make potatoes similar to this recipe in the cut I put a very thin slice of onion for the grill and wrap them in foil.
i usually don’t make a recipe for company before trying it out first. I wish I had done that with this recipe. The potatoes were slightly leathery and dry in consistency and lacked that pop of flavor I was hoping for.
Came out fine and were cute; guess I’m not a fan of lemon potatoes.
These look amazing! Planning on making them soon. I’m sure they taste great but I love the presentation.
I tried these potatoes. I thought I followed the recipe correctly. Mine were dry and little to know flavor, What did I do wrong? I saw you had garlic and lemons in the roasting pan, I did not do that..
Help
Your temp may be different. Add butter to moisturize back up.
It looks like you have extra, whole cloves of garlic in the pan with the potatoes? Can you please advise.
You can add 1 head of garlic cloves in the pan but not necessary.
Honey, huh? Well, with honey, I think these might be terrific with the roasted pork with applesauce I’m making this weekend. Thanks for the recipe!
Try it I am sure you will like it.
Would this recipe work for Russets? We just got a 5lb bag and would love to make these to use some of them up!
I think so but Russets are bigger so might take longer to roast.
If potatoes are large you can cut them in half lengthwise, stand the potatoes on the flat end & then cut.
These tators looks like the best tators I’ve ever seen on the net. I’m absolutely drooling right now. I’m falling in love.
Thanks Laura, you are too sweet. :)
