Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds baby gold potatoes halved (quarter any large ones) (Note 1)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice optional

Instructions

Oven Method

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C).
    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, if desired.
  • In a large bowl, toss the halved (or quartered) 1½ pounds baby gold potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet. (Note 2)
    Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender.

Air Fryer Method

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 F (200 C).
  • In a large bowl, toss the halved (or quartered) potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
  • Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook in batches if needed.
    Air fry for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden in color and slightly crispy.

Both Methods

  • While still warm, gently toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons fresh dill and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (if using). (Note 3)
    Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with extra dill and a sprinkle of flaky salt, if desired.

Notes

  1. Use Baby Golds: Their creamy texture and thin skins are ideal for roasting. Halve or quarter the potatoes so they cook at the same rate.
  2. For oven roasting, placing them cut-side down helps develop a golden crust.
  3. Always add fresh dill after cooking to preserve its delicate flavor.
  4. Air Fryer Tip: Make sure the garlic powder is well coated in oil to prevent burning.
  5. Time Saver: The air fryer method gives you crisp results in less time. It's great for busy nights.
