The Crispiest Lemoniest Potatoes
When I eat a lemon potato, I want to be slapped in the face with lemon. So while I've tried quick hacks, nothing gets you that lemon flavor like a good old marinade. So I've made these aggressively lemony. And while I was at it, I also made them aggressively crispy, because what's the point of a roasted potato if it ain't crispAYYY!?
The baking soda makes these extra crispy, and the yellow mustard really makes that lemon flavor POP. You can reduce the time if you simply don't have it and these will be still bonkers, but if you've got the time, just go for it and thank me later.
Also - PLEASE USE YUKON GOLD POTATOES ONLY
6 large yukon gold potatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tsp mustard
1/2 tbsp baking soda
1/3 cup salt
4 cloves garlic
2 lemons
Dill for serving
White onion thinly sliced for serving
1/2 cup plain skyr or greek yogurt
Marinade
2 lemons, juiced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
Pre Recipe Prep
Prep your potatoes
Peel, then dice your potatoes into 1 1/2 inch cubes. Place in a large pot of cold water with a LOT of salt (like 1/3 cup), 1/2 tbsp of baking soda, and bring to a boil. As soon as they start to boil, test them for tenderness. We want them JUST fork tender, but not fully cooked.
Prep your marinade
While the potatoes boil, make your marinade.
In a large bowl, juice 2 lemons, add 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp mustard and mix well. Whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil. Once potatoes are cooked, drain them and add to bowl and mix well. Marinade for 15 minutes - 2 hours (depending on how lemony you want them).
Bake your potatoes
Preheat oven to 425. To a large baking sheet, place potatoes in a single layer, ensuring there is space between each piece (use two pans if you have to). Drizzle with a teensy bit more oil, and a light sprinkle of salt. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown on most sides, flipping them at the 20 minute mark.
Serve
To your serving dish, spread your plain skyr or greek yogurt, top with your hot potatoes, fresh dill (optional) and thinly sliced white onion (optional).
