Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Wash and scrub the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 2-3 cm each.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Crush the garlic cloves lightly with the side of a knife, leaving the skins on, and add them to the bowl.

Strip the rosemary leaves from their stems and add them to the mixture.

Toss the potato chunks in the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the oil and lemon mixture.
Step 7
Season the potatoes generously with salt and black pepper, stirring again to combine.
Step 8
Transfer the seasoned potatoes onto a large baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer for even roasting.
Step 9
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the potatoes with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Step 10
Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 25 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
