Ingredients:
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). This ensures that it’s ready when your potatoes are prepped.
-
Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, lemon juice, seasoning salt, and garlic powder. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. This flavorful mixture will be brushed onto the potatoes, infusing them with deliciousness.
-
Prep the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Then, slice each potato in half lengthwise to create two equal halves.
-
Coat with Butter Mixture: Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent the potatoes from sticking. Place the potato halves on the baking sheet, cut side up. Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously coat the cut sides of the potatoes with the prepared butter mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.
-
Bake to Perfection: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the potatoes for 30 to 40 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your potatoes, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These Savory Lemon Potatoes are best enjoyed warm, alongside your favorite main dish. They make a delightful accompaniment to grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or a hearty steak.
