Ina Garten’s Tuscan Roasted Potatoes

By Angelika Hanna

This recipe is inspired by Ina Garten’s Tuscan Roasted Potatoes & Lemon. It is a perfect savory side dish that goes well with any meaty main dish. Ina does not add any onions to her Tuscan potatoes. However, I find that onions and potatoes make such a delicious match. I never had roasted lemon in my potatoes before. So, it was a nice surprise to taste the caramelized lemon with those roasted potatoes. The rosemary rounds up all the flavors into a magnificent side dish.
