Preserved lemons add a wonderful salty-sweet hit to these simple potatoes, but if you don't have them on hand, you can use regular lemons instead. Thinly slice the peel of one lemon, then toss with the potatoes before roasting.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss potatoes, oil, and rosemary on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing halfway through, until soft and golden brown, 25–30 minutes. Toss warm potatoes with preserved lemon peel.
Nutrition Per Serving
Roasted fingerling potatoes are an always-excellent side—and a wonderful blank canvas for seasonings. Instead of rosemary and preserved lemon, try…
Curry powder + CashewsSeason potatoes with curry powder before roasting. Sprinkle with coarsely chopped cashews and cilantro to serve.
Carrots + ChileReplace half the potatoes with pieces of chopped carrot (aim for roughly the same size as the fingerlings). Toss roasted vegetables with melted butter and Aleppo pepper.
Oregano + FetaSprinkle fresh or dried oregano over the potatoes before roasting. Top with feta to serve.

Back to TopSimple but excellent. Served with prime rib roast — and the potatoes rivaled the meat for top-notch taste!

Very good. Not stunning, but a nice tweak on standard roasted potatoes.

Love roasted potatoes and make them frequently but never thought to add preserved or fresh lemon peel. The addition of preserved lemon peel, or fresh lemon peel which I used really added something to the potatoes. Will definitely remember to toss in some lemon peel from now on.

Also, just Lemon peel zest works great on the potatoes too.

Preserved Lemon is easy to make, but takes time to 'preserve' - at least 3 to 5 days. It is worth it especially for middle eastern and Morrocan recipes!

The introduction says to toss fresh lemon peel (if using) before roasting. If using preserved peel, toss after roasting. Haven't tried it yet...

我认为如果使用保存柠檬皮you toss with the warm potatoes as the recipe suggests. The the first section it's referring to how to prepare if you are using regular lemons.

I am confused. In the first section the recipe says to toss with the lemon peel before roasting. Under the preparation section it was to toss warm potatoes with the lemon peel. Can you clarify. Thank you.
