Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs (907 g) fingerling potatoes
  • 1-2 lemons, zest one and reserve the zest
  • Generous handfuls fresh mint and parsley
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Coarse sea salt and freshly cracked pepper or a sprinkling of Aleppo chili pepper
  • Fleur de sel or other flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large baking pan, toss potatoes with olive oil, coarse sea salt, fresh cracked pepper or Aleppo pepper, and lemon zest.
  3. Roast for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven; toss again.
  5. Return to oven and cook for 15 more minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

Notes

  • For crispier potatoes, halve or quarter larger potatoes before roasting.
  • To make ahead, roast potatoes completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
  • Substitute other herbs like rosemary or thyme for the mint and parsley, or use a mix of herbs.
