I'm allergic to lemons. Do you think I could use limes instead?

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have any fresh herbs. Do you think I could use dried herbs instead?

These potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They were still good, though.
