New potatoes are one of those foods that just scream 'spring' to me. Maybe it's their delicate skin, or the way they practically melt in your mouth. I remember my grandmother used to make them every year with just butter and a sprinkle of parsley. This recipe is an ode to her simple brilliance, but with a zesty, herby twist! And honestly who doesn't love a crispy potato?

These Lemon & Dill Roasted New Potatoes are not only incredibly flavorful but also super versatile. They’re perfect as a side dish for grilled chicken or fish, or even as a star component in a vegetarian meal. The bright lemon and fragrant dill complement the earthy potatoes beautifully, creating a dish that's both comforting and refreshing. Seriously, what more could you ask for? It's kinda crazy, I forgot to buy parsley at the store. Oops! Oh well, who needs it anyway.

One time, I was making these for a potluck and completely forgot to add the dill! It wasn't until I was halfway there that I realized my mistake. Luckily, I had some dried dill in my car (don't ask) and was able to salvage the dish. The moral of the story? Always double-check your ingredients! Though these taters are delicious even without the dill (shhh!), it really adds that something special. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get roasting!

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Making sure your oven is properly preheated is important for even cooking.
  2. Wash the new potatoes thoroughly. There’s no need to peel them since their skins are thin and full of nutrients. Just give 'em a good scrub to remove any dirt.
  3. If the potatoes are larger than 1.5 inches in diameter, cut them in half or quarters so that they are roughly the same size. This will ensure uniform cooking.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Don't be shy with the dill!
  5. Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the lemon-dill mixture. Make sure every nook and cranny is covered.
  6. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet or roasting pan. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can steam the potatoes instead of roasting them.
  7. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
  8. Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with extra fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired. Serve immediately and bask in the deliciousness!
  9. And that, my friends, is how you make the most scrumptuous lemon & dill roasted new potatoes. If you have some fresh parsley on hand, feel free to add some, why not.
