Garlic Lemon Potatoes

If you ever have a bunch of potatoes and need to do something with them, this is a very easy and delicious side/appetizer. The result is fancy french fries.



3-4 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise into wedges

2 tablespoons olive oil

juice of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

1/2 tablespoon basil

1/2 tablespoon parsley
1/4 tablespoon sage

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped


Mix the garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest, basil, parsley, sage and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl and set aside.


Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and turn heat on medium. Add 1 layer of the potatoes and brown for about 5-6 minutes. Turn the potatoes to the other side and brown for another 5-6 minutes. Cover the pan with a lid and turn the heat to low. Cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, lemon, herb and oil mixture to the potatoes. Add salt and pepper. Let the potatoes heat for another 2 minutes in the mixture uncovered and stirring a little to make sure the potatoes don't stick.
