Steps

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Roast 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown around the edges. The timing will depend on the size and freshness of your potatoes.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing onto the cooked potatoes and gently toss. You may not need all the dressing. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

I have always roasted my potatoes with salt, pepper and herbs. But came across this recipe with a dressing and decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint! My kids absolutely loved them! This will be my forever way of doing my potatoes. Thank you for the recipe.

Made this for my family and everyone loved it. We were disappointed there weren't leftovers lol. Adding the sauce the recipe gives from scratch, made all the difference. I added a tablespoon more of the lemon juice because I just love lemon but it was a really Tasty Bite and addition to our meal

This is fabulous. I added carrots, potatoes, edamame and scallions for a roasted vegetable side dish. Love the dressing addition!!
