Notes

  • Don't overcrowd the pan. You want to let the heat access all sides of the potatoes.
  • Use fresh lemon juice. Store-bought juices taste synthetic and contain more ingredients than you need.
  • For added crispness, broil your potatoes for the last few minutes of their time in the oven. Just keep an eye on them so you don't burn them.
