Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs small red potatoes about 1 1/2 inches wide, halved
  • 2 tsp fine salt for cooking water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp fine salt for seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 425°F with a bare rimmed sheet on middle rack. Cover potatoes with cold water by 1 inch; add cooking salt. Simmer 7 to 8 minutes after bubbling starts until outsides soften but centers slightly resist.
  2. Drain well; steam-dry 3 minutes. Gently toss with oil, seasoning salt, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper.
  3. Carefully space potatoes cut-side down on hot pan. Roast undisturbed 25 minutes.
  4. Turn; roast 5 to 10 minutes more until fully tender and deeply golden underneath.
  5. Lightly toss in a bowl with lemon zest and juice; serve immediately while crisp.
