Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby potatoes, halved

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

Zest of 1 medium lemon

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup easier, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved baby potatoes. Pour in the extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried dill weed, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure every potato is well coated with the flavorful mixture.

      Arrange on Baking Sheet: Once coated, spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing the cut sides down. This technique will help the potatoes achieve a wonderfully crispy and golden-brown exterior.

        Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 30-35 minutes. About halfway through cooking (around 15-17 minutes), carefully flip the potatoes to promote even browning and that perfect crunch.

          Add Lemon Juice: Once roasted to golden perfection, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately drizzle the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the hot potatoes, tossing them gently to mix the bright flavor throughout.

            Serve: Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish, elegantly garnish with fresh dill sprigs for a pop of color, and present with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
