Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough for roasting the potatoes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Make the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic (or whole if preferred), chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Coat the Potatoes

    Add the cut potatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss them gently until all the potato pieces are well coated with the lemony mixture.

  2. 5

    Arrange in Baking Dish

    Transfer the coated potatoes to a baking dish, spreading them out evenly. Make sure the cut sides are facing down for better browning.

  3. 6

    Roasting

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Stir halfway through for even cooking.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve warm as a side dish, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
