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!

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.
Awesome, thanks for trying my recipe, please try more recipes on my site: https://rasamalaysia.com/recipe-index-gallery/
These look delicious. Can you use just olive oil and no butter for those who are on a dairy free diet?
Hi Arlene, yes you can!
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.
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
Thank you, but how about making the recipe first and then tell us about your success or failure?
How do you cut the potato like that?
Just slice it by placing the potatoes on a spoon of a ladle.
2018 Christmas brunch ideas, thank you so much for such an awesome receipe. I hope my guests enjoy it.

What are the best potatoes to use for this recipe? They look delicious and I want to try this weekend.
I used baby potatoes, with yellow skin. :)
Noticed this recipe on Pinterest and got to say, looks so delisious!
Just finished making and I am in love! It came out sooo great, the family loved them :) So crisp, so flavorful. Next time will try with lemon!
Hi Daisy, so happy to hear that you love this lemon herb roasted potatoes. :)
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.
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.
That is a great tip!
Use chop sticks also works :) one in front and on in the back
Super reteta. Merg acum sa prepar pentru cina. Am mai taiat cartofii asa, dar sosul este special. Multumesc.
