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!).

Notes
Choosing the right potatoes: 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. You can choose the yellow, red, or a mixture. Other types of potatoes can be substituted but they may not have the same buttery flavor that creamer potatoes have.
Extra crispy: Roast the potatoes a bit longer. Watch closely so they don't burn.
Seasoning: If you're not a fan of dill, you can easily substitute a different herb of your choice, such as rosemary, oregano, or parsley. Different seasonings can be used, too. I often roast potatoes (and other vegetables) using my all purpose seasoning.
