Potatoes
- 2 lbs California yellow potatoes
Seasoning & Flavorings
- 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 3 TBSP prepared horseradish
- 4–5 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- ½ tsp fresh-cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Herb & Citrus Mix
- ⅓ cup chopped parsley
- ½ cup ripe olives, roughly chopped
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
Garnish
- Flaky sea salt, to garnish
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even roasting.
- Prepare potatoes: Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then slice each half into thick wedges. Place them into a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss quickly to ensure all the potato pieces are coated evenly with the oil.
- Season potatoes: Add the prepared horseradish, smashed garlic cloves, fresh-cracked black pepper, and kosher salt to the potatoes. Toss again thoroughly so each wedge is well covered with the horseradish mixture.
- Roast potatoes: Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing each wedge cut side down to maximize crispiness. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and golden brown on the outside.
- Prepare herb and olive mix: While the potatoes are roasting, combine the chopped parsley, roughly chopped ripe olives, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Pour in half of the lemon juice and toss to meld the flavors.
- Toss and serve: Once roasting is complete, remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately toss them in the parsley, olive, and lemon mixture. Transfer to a serving platter or bowl, then drizzle with the remaining lemon juice and sprinkle with flaky sea salt to finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- California yellow potatoes have a creamy texture and hold their shape well when roasted, but Yukon Gold potatoes can be substituted.
- Prepared horseradish varies in heat; adjust quantity to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger horseradish flavor.
- Ripe olives add a nice briny contrast; Kalamata or black olives work best.
- For a vegan-friendly recipe, ensure your horseradish preparation contains no dairy.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
