Instructions

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425°F.
In a wide-mouth mason jar, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, chicken broth, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and Dijon mustard. Seal with the lid and shake well to combine.
Read Note 1. Generously spray a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Add the potatoes, pour the dressing over, and toss well to coat. Use your hands to spread the potatoes out so they aren’t overlapping.
Roast for 30 minutes, until the potatoes are nearly tender and most of the liquid has reduced.
Use a flat metal spatula to toss the potatoes, then return to the oven and roast another 10–15 minutes, until tender, golden, and lightly glazed.
Toss once more and adjust the salt (I typically add another 1/4 to 1 teaspoon salt) and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Note 1: These potatoes tend to stick as they crisp up. A sharp metal spatula helps lift and flip them cleanly. If you don’t have one, line the pan with parchment paper. They’ll be a little less crisp, but much easier to remove.

Storage: These potatoes are best fresh while the edges are crisp. For leftovers, let them cool fully, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on a sheet pan in a hot oven or in the air fryer to bring back the crisp. Skip the microwave, it softens the edges.
