Roasted Potatoes with Spices and Lemon

These roasted potatoes with lemon are cooked in the oven, not deep fried, to make them tasty and healthier at the same time.

I love roasted potatoes, especially when combined with spices. There is nothing like biting into a crispy outer skin and then having a creamy center surprise.

Be sure you cook in a hot oven to make sure that you get a crunchy outside.  I used oregano, paprika and garlic as well as lemons to season my potatoes.
