Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Slice the larger potatoes in half lengthwise, leaving smaller ones whole for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down if halved. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the lemon-garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and half of the chopped parsley. Stir to combine and set aside.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the lemon-garlic butter sauce over the potatoes and gently toss to coat.

Step 8

Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful Lemon Fingerling Potatoes!
