Ingredients

1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes - 1" in size
1/2 cup Italian flat leaf parsley - chopped
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice - fresh
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper, fresh ground

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
In a small sauce pan, melt the butter. Add the lemon zest, juice, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook until the garlic and lemon is fragrant, just 1-2 minutes. The butter does not need to boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley.
Place the potatoes on a large baking sheet and drizzle with HALF of the parsley butter mixture. Stir to combine.
Roast for 30-40 minutes until the potatoes are crisp and brown on the outside, tender on the inside, and easily pierced with a fork.
Stir half way through.
Drizzle the remainder of the butter mixture over the potatoes and serve.
