Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For roasting, look for firm, starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Russet, or Red potatoes. These hold their shape well and become crispy on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: Uniformly sized potato pieces will ensure even cooking. Aim for 1-inch cubes or wedges.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This helps create a crispy exterior and flavorful interior. Use a good quality olive oil or avocado oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and desired herbs and spices.
  • Roast at a high temperature: High heat creates crispy potatoes. Aim for 425°F (220°C) or higher.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the potatoes enough space to roast properly. If you overcrowd the pan, they will steam instead of roast.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting: This ensures even browning and crispy texture on all sides.
  • Roast until golden brown and tender: The potatoes are done when they are pierced easily with a fork and have a crispy golden-brown exterior.

Conclusion:

Lemon basil roasted potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. The bright flavor of lemon and basil complements the crispy roasted potatoes perfectly. This recipe is easy to follow and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your potatoes crispy or tender, lemony or garlicky, this recipe has you covered. Give it a try and enjoy the delicious results!
