Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 2 lbs California yellow potatoes
- 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 3 TBSP prepared horseradish
- 4–5 garlic cloves (peeled and smashed)
- ½ tsp fresh-cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Herb and Citrus Mixture
- ⅓ cup chopped parsley
- ½ cup ripe olives (roughly chopped)
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
Garnish
- Flaky sea salt (to garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then slice each half into thick wedges. Place them in a large bowl and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil. Toss quickly to coat all the pieces evenly.
- Season Potatoes: Add the prepared horseradish, smashed garlic cloves, fresh-cracked black pepper, and kosher salt to the bowl. Toss everything again so the potatoes are well coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure each wedge sits with the cut side down for even roasting. Roast in the oven until the potatoes are tender and golden, approximately 35-40 minutes.
- Make Herb and Olive Mixture: While the potatoes roast, combine the chopped parsley, roughly chopped ripe olives, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Pour in half of the freshly squeezed lemon juice and toss to blend these fresh ingredients.
- Toss and Serve: Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and immediately toss them with the parsley and olive mixture. Transfer to a serving platter or bowl, then drizzle with the remaining lemon juice and garnish with flaky sea salt before serving.
Notes
- Prepared horseradish can be adjusted to taste; add more or less depending on your heat preference.
- Use ripe olives for a milder taste, or swap with Kalamata olives for a more robust flavor.
- Flaky sea salt adds a lovely finishing texture and burst of flavor; use just before serving.
- You can substitute California yellow potatoes with Yukon Gold for a similar texture.
- For extra garlic flavor, roast the garlic cloves with the potatoes on the baking sheet.
