zesty lemon tatos


These are kind of like fries, but far superior (and healthier). These baked potato chunks can be a tasty snack, side dish, or main dish and are simply made.

Ingredients
  • 4 potatoes
  • 1 lemon
  • a few springs of rosemary
  • olive oil (enough to cover potato pieces)


Instructions

  1. preheat oven to 350
  2. wash & chop up potatoes into bite-size chunks. put 'em in a bowl
  3. zest the lemon and juice it over the potatoes (watch for seeds)
  4. finely chop rosemary, add to potatoes
  5. drizzle olive oil generously over the mix
  6. mix everything together in the bowl until potatoes are evenly coated
  7. spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet


  8. bake for 21 minutes, flip potatoes & return to oven for another 16 minutes
  9. IMPORTANT: k, go eat them.
Reflections

The first time we crafted these zingy potatoes, we couldn't taste the lemon very well, besides the pieces of lemon zest. Experiment for the future: soak the potato pieces in the lemon juice longer before baking them, or just use more lemon. Also, more rosemary and/or other complimentary spices. Maisha wants to try it with pomegranate sauce instead of lemon some time.
