My husband isn't a potato fan and even he couldn't get enough of these crispy dill roasted potatoes with lemon. He said they tasted butter-soaked (spoiler: they're not!). Get the easy side dish recipe on RachelCooks.com!

My husband isn’t a potato fan and even he couldn’t get enough of these crispy dill roasted potatoes with lemon. He said they tasted butter-soaked (spoiler: they’re not!).

Recipe Overview

Why you’ll love it: These potatoes are so easy to make and have super flavor. They are a perfect side dish.

How long it takes: 30 minutes
Equipment you’ll need: sheet pan (large rimmed baking sheet)
Servings: 4

I never used to make potatoes for dinner. Ben isn’t a fan of them but over the years, I’ve figured out a thing or two in life.

I figured out that if they’re crispy, he is a fan.

Turns out, that’s how I like them best too. Match made in heaven? I think yes although these potatoes aren’t the only reason I think that!

My go-to recipe for the best crispy roasted potatoes always works like a charm but I have to say these little cuties might be pushing out the diced potatoes for a place as numero uno.

(They’re great on the grill, too. Try grilled rosemary potatoes.)

About This Recipe

Want to know the reason why I love these potatoes so much?

Well, partly because they’re WAY easier to make. No dicing, no soaking, no drying, none of that. I use The Little Potato Company potatoes (not sponsored), and get this, you guys, they come already washed!

I literally just throw these onto the pan and toss them with salt, pepper, olive oil, and dill. Twenty-five minutes and a squeeze of lemon juice later, they are on my table. It probably could be even quicker but we like them extra crispy.

Seriously, you guys, this are the best of both worlds. You bite through the extra crispy potato peel and you’re met with ultra creamy inside of the potato.

The insides of these little dill roasted potatoes are so creamy that Ben thinks they are soaked in butter. SOAKED IN BUTTER.

If you can have something that tastes like it is soaked in butter but it really isn’t, isn’t that an ultimate dream come true? Usually things that taste butter-soaked really are. These aren’t! The combination of the olive oil, lemon juice, and the buttery insides of these potatoes gives that flavor and texture that has Ben fooled.

Want to make it a complete meal? They complement these crispy chicken thighs perfectly and you might even be able to fit it all on one sheet pan. They’re fantastic with this roasted Italian sausage or baked salmon with maple mustard glaze.

You could make things really easy and matchy-matchy by pairing these dill roasted potatoes with lemon salmon with dill! Why not? You already have lemon and dill for the potatoes! Oh, and make these quick sautéed sugar snap peas with dill, too. They go great with the salmon and potatoes.

 Needed for this recipe:

  • sheet pan
  • olive oil
  • spatula

If you love potatoes with dill, you’ll want to try my dill potato salad. It’s loaded with fresh dill and dill pickles.

My husband isn’t a potato fan and even he couldn’t get enough of these crispy dill roasted potatoes with lemon. He said they tasted butter-soaked (spoiler: they’re not!).

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, washed (creamer potatoes)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (less if you’re not a pepper fan)
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill, extra to garnish
  • ½ lemon (or about 1 ½ tablespoons juice)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dill.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, stir, and continue to roast for 10 additional minutes, or until potatoes are crispy on the outside and fork tender on the inside (see note).
  • Squeeze lemon half over potatoes and garnish with additional dill. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, leave them in the oven a bit longer. Watch closely so they don’t burn.
  • I like to use The Little Potato Company creamer potatoes (not sponsored), which are prewashed and  naturally small, about 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Other types of potatoes can be substituted but they may not have the same buttery flavor that creamer potatoes have.

    Is the dill “weed” or “seed” used in this recipe? Or could it be either?

    Great and very easy recipe.  I added 1/2 a yellow onion and 2 minced garlic cloves.  Went well with grilled flank steak. Crowd fave with kids.  Thanks for posting.

    I do not like dill, so I substituted dried celery flakes, onion powder and dried basil! WOW!

    Potatoes are actually one of the few vegetable-based side dishes my husband will eat, ha! I think our entire family would love this one, especially with the crispy edges!
