Lemon Salt Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 large fresh sage leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 4 pounds small potatoes (red or white), halved
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray two rimmed baking sheets with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the sage, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest and salt. Use a wooden spoon to press the herbs into the salt mixture. Keep pressing and mixing until flavors are melded together. (You can do this in a mini-food processor if you have one).
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the oil and butter and season with pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Roast for 25 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and sprinkle the potatoes with the herb salt. Toss well and return the potatoes to the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and golden. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm.
