How To Make Lemon Herb Roasted Potatoes
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Cut slits in the potatoes without cutting all the way through. Mix all the ingredients for the oil mixture together.
Step 2. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan and brush them with the oil mixture, making sure to coat inside the slits. Reserve some of the mixture for basting.
Step 3. Roast the potatoes for 1 hour, basting with the remaining oil mixture at 30-minute intervals. Serve immediately after roasting.
Cooking Tips
- As a trick to cut these potatoes perfectly, line up two chopsticks horizontally on each side of the potato. Then, use a knife to cut vertically. This will help you not cut all the way through the potatoes.
- Then, butter up the potatoes in the spices, making sure to get it in between each potato slice.
- Your potatoes will be roasted to perfection, soaking in every flavor!

If using bigger potatoes should increase cooking time ?
Yes, but do check on them with a fork or knife to see if they are tender.
Do you know if this recipe does well in an air fryer?
I don’t use an air fryer but I would think so!
Cheers normally you are very specific as to type of potato to use.
Here you just say “baby”.
Baby what? Red? Youkon? Russell?
How big are your babies?
Also a modification:
In order to get the sections to fan out, I had to cut the potato in half to give the sections enough room. Else the sliced sections were just bunched up together.
Other than that, everyone loves them!
:)
I want to do this with potatoes I already have on hand. What are your thoughts on boiling the potatoes a bit before slicing them and putting them in the oven?
Just follow the recipe.
Tried your recipe, cooked them for 1 hour 15 minutes and that were still hard. Why?
How big is your potato?
Your recipes are simply the best. Everything always turn out great. Been following you for years but this is my first time commenting. I just secrely stalk you. HAHAHA! Best wishes for continuous success.
Thanks Loann.
We love this recipe!!! This is a family favorite!! We are a family of 10 and everyone loves them.
Baby potatoes? They don’t appear to be that small in the photo, would be hard to get many cuts. Is that correct? Looks amazing and will make them for sure. Love your recipes.
They are small, I took macro shots. It’s very easy to get the cuts.
Looks delicious but wondering if you can can use bigger potatoes such as Idaho potatoes?
Yes you can!
Can they be made ahead of time and reheated a couple of days later? I was thinking of taking them pre-made when we go camping.
Sure.
Would these be able to be made ahead? Thinking about making them a couple of days ahead, taking them camping and just re-heating them….
