Lemon Roasted Potatoes With Smoked Paprika and Rosemary image

A potato doesn't need much else other than oil, salt and a hot oven to be truly delicious. But dust them with smokey paprika, and roast them alongside tangy lemon slices on a bed of woodsy rosemary, and you have some truly special potatoes. A large and waxy potato is best here (Yukon Golds especially), but know that a starchy potato like an Idaho would also work; just expect something fluffier with less crispiness.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lemons
2 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3), scrubbed and cut lengthwise into eighths
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
4 sprigs rosemary or thyme
1/4 cup parsley, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut one lemon into quarters and set aside. Slice remaining lemon about 1/4-inch thick and remove all seeds.
  • Place sliced lemon on a rimmed sheet tray along with potatoes, olive oil and paprika, and mix together with clean hands. Arrange in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Scatter rosemary in and around potatoes.
  • Place in oven and roast, rotating sheet tray once and flipping potatoes as needed, until potatoes are golden brown, crisped and completely tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and transfer everything to a large serving platter. Top with parsley and serve with lemon quarters for squeezing alongside.
