The Best Roasted Potatoes
These lemon herb roasted potatoes are absolutely delightful, made with olive oil, melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, herb and honey.
Adding a bit of honey really makes the potatoes so much more delicious as the bottom part of these roasted potatoes became caramelized, ahhh, heavenly.
To make sure that your roasted potatoes get the amazing flavors of the herb and lemon, slice each potato horizontally like hasselback potatoes, but without cutting through.
Every slice is coated with the buttery, garlicky flavor. Active time to make this dish is only 15 minutes! The rest is baking time.
Just look at these golden-hued and glossy looking roasted potatoes, they might well be the best roasted potatoes recipe you’ve ever attempted at home!

Before I tweak a recipe, I always try to follow the directions exactly for the first time. Sometimes I see comments where so many changes have been made I often wonder “what’s the point of using a recipe?” If I wasn’t fond of a particular spice or direction, I’ll make it next time to my own liking. This recipe will always be made EXACTLY as you wrote it. Absolutely delicious! I spooned remaining sauce over rice… YUMMY! This is a family keeper! And I love how quick the prep time is. Gives you an hour to make the main entree, even though they look and taste like you fussed over the stove the whole time. Thank you darling for sharing your yummy recipe.

These look delicious. Can you use just olive oil and no butter for those who are on a dairy free diet?
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Arlene, yes you can!
Donald Garber
What I like about this recipe is that it’s a great starting point. If you aren’t thrilled about citrus/honey, try some other combination of flavors/spices. As written, though, they look delicious and I’m going to try them very soon – small potatoes are one of my favorite sides.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Donald, thanks so much for your comments. Yes, these lemon herb roasted potatoes are absolutely delicious!

I have like 20 mins left. My cooking style is quite different…. I did not put any lemon in there. I also didn’t time it which might have been a mistake so wish me luck. I only put different spices and I hope that it turns out well but I did put honey in it so let’s see how that turns out I will let y’all know

How do you cut the potato like that?
Rasa Malaysia
Just slice it by placing the potatoes on a spoon of a ladle.

These “visually” look sooo good – I willl definitely try them – easy recipe and ladies just use your imagination for spices and flavors. One question: how on earth did you manage to slice these little guys so “evenly” with a free hand and knife – it looks like you might have used some kind of gadget. Anyway, they look terrific and I will put them into my file to cook soon. Thanks.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Tem, yes, I slice them by hand, I have done them so many times I am a pro. Put the potato in a “spoon” part of a wood ladle and slice, it will make sure that you don’t slice through.
Autumn
That is a great tip!

Use chop sticks also works :) one in front and on in the back
