These Greek-inspired roasted new potatoes are wonderful with roast chicken or lamb. It's one of our favorite ways to cook potatoes, as it's mostly hands-off and you get fantastic results. The potatoes are tossed with a bit of olive oil and lemon zest after cooking to round out the flavor and to add a bit of citrusy brightness. They're beautifully complemented by fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, and chopped garlic before going into the oven as well. If desired, you can garnish them with some chopped mint or parsley instead of the mint. For a change, try this recipe with whole fingerling potatoes.
