Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs (900 g / 31.7 oz) new potatoes, chopped (about 10 small)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) olive oil
  • 1/4 cup (960 ml) fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For crispier results, pat the potatoes completely dry before tossing with oil and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
  • Always add the fresh lemon juice just before serving. This preserves its bright, zesty flavor and prevents the potatoes from getting soft.
  • For a touch of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic before roasting.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, and chopped mint.
  3. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures they roast evenly and get crispy.
  5. Roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
  6. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
  8. Cut potatoes into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
