They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. And if my husband’s stomach was doing the ordering, it would order potatoes. In any way, shape, or form.
These potatoes did the trick for him.

Lemon & Dill Roasted Potato Sticks
1 large potato, chopped into sticks
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 to 3 tbsp EVOO
1 tbsp dill
1 tbsp all-purpose savory seasoning blend (i.e. Trader Joe’s 21 Salute, Mrs. Dash blends, etc.)
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Place potatoes in a bowl and add oil and seasonings. Toss with a spoon to coat. Place potato sticks on foil-lined baking sheet (to save on clean-up time). Bake at 400F for 35 minutes (or until crispy). Flip potatoes once halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

Combine all ingredients, toss and coat
Get ready to bake
After flipping halfway through roasting
Done!
You may enjoy serving these potatoes with my vegan Creamy Lemon & Herb Dip
Or with ketchup. I love ketchup on just about anything.
Check out Ketchup & Mustard Lovers Protein & Veggie Mash if you love a little food with your condiments like I do.
Or simply eat the lemon and dill roasted potato sticks plain.
Plain is good sometimes.
But these were far from plain. The lemon, dill, and herbs gave them great flavor.
And they were slightly crunchy on the outside and warm and soft in the middle. Far from plain. Scott approved.
From my last post about my Mall Finds, I am glad you liked my Mac Makeup and bodysprays!
And it doesn’t sound like anyone is going to do anything too crazy for St. Patty’s Day. We shall see come Friday morning who’s hungover on their way to work.
Dessert: Let’s go with some Mint Chocolate Chip Softserve (Vegan, Gluten Free, Soy Free)
Feel free to add a couple drops of green food coloring in the spirit of St. Patty’s Day!Questions:
1. Do you like potatoes?
I will admit, I am not really that much of a potato person. They are fine, but not something I really seek out. My idea of comfort food is one of these.
However, Scott adores potatoes and so I make them for him. He’d be fine with a microwaved “baked” potato but in an effort to have new recipes for my blog to keep things interesting for him, I like to mix things up.
2. What’s your favorite potato and way to cook it?
Here are some ideas of mine..
Ginger Roasted Tri Colored Potatoes
And a Cheezy Veggie Bake with Potatoes
Tell me if and how you like your taters!
have to say i’m not a huge potato fan, either. i think my mom served enough potatos when we were kids to last a lifetime! :)
your potato sticks look awesome! no wonder scott was impressed!
i have to say, especially in the last 2 posts, your pictures look worlds better! a little lighting and tweaking of settings goes a long way. I have always loved your blog, and now that your experimenting more with your photos I am loving it even more!
I am not a huge white potato fan. I adore sweet potatoes, but white just don’t do much for me. French fries, sure! but baked white potato, nah.
The potatoes look like somethingmy boyfriend would just LOVE!
I’m going to make them for him :)
PS I finallllly got to make your kale chip recipe after being out of nooch for months!!!!
enjoy them :)
You are really working that SLR camera. Your pictures are great!
Im tryin’. Thank you :)
I definitely a potato lover! My favorite way to prepare them is roasted, or grilled in foil on the grill. My favorite kinds are baby red potatoes, sweet potatoes, and then fingerling. I can’t wait for my irish feast for St. Patty’s Day!
Meh, I’m only so-so on potatoes. I’d rather have a sweet-potato! Ryan on the other hand is a potato FIEND and will eat them in any shape or form. I am printing our your recipe and making these for him as a side sometime soon! He will loooove it.
well lmk how they go over!
p.s. I just updated the recipe…i forgot to write in lemon juice. duh. all fixed now :)
ohhhh crucial! haha, thank you for letting me know!! :)
I am not a potato fan really. I grew up eating mashed potatoes with EVERYTHING. I think I OD’ed on them by about age 13. My parents, however, do the microwaved baked potato thing at least 3-4 times a week, I’m guessing.
I love all your recipes, but I think the savory ones are my favorite. I’m not much into sweets lately. Did I just say that?!?!
Also, did you forget to out the lemon in the recipe or am I blind?
good catch. i typed this post at 4am after work. yes, for real. i KNEW i was going to forget something…and i did :) all fixed now.
od’ing on mashed potatoes…omg we had the same childhood, again, i am reminded.
savory recipes being faves? it’s heresy. for sure :)
Love potatoes! I love oven roasted and baked the best.
Mmmm! The dill makes those look even more fabulous than they sound!
thanks :)
I like taters in stick form! haha.. I’m not a fan of mashed potatoes or baked potatoes!! These look very delish!! (no big surprise!)
Mmm, sounds like my hubby and your hubby have similar tastes. My hubby could live off potatoes(but not the sweet ones… I’m the only one that likes sweet potatoes in this house – I usually just make baked fries out of them). I bake them whole or fry them as hashbrowns(either grated potato or little cubes) and sometimes I make fries like yours but I usually bake them for a really long time till they get super crispy on the outside. I think our favorite spice combo is garlic powder and paprika, and sometimes I put chili like spices on them like chili powder and cumin and such. So yummy. I love potatoes too, but not as much as my hubby, lol.
Dill and lemon, how summer-y! :-)
We had potatoes day-in-day-out when I was a kid and I suspect that’s why I don’t like them…don’t know though – they have just never, ever been my thing, except the first couple batches in the spring, new potatoes, mmm! Since moving away from home (13 years ago) I think I can – literally – count on one hand the times I have cooked taters for myself – not counting the sweet ones ;-)
Hump day coming up tomorrow, hope you’re having a nice week.
I love potatoes — we have baked sweet potatoes at least 3 times per week with dinner — they are so easy to make and taste so good. I also like roasted fingerling potatoes or red potatoes.
I have seen others post about that TJs 21 Salute seasoning but I keep forgetting to pick it up!
Yum!! I love roasted potatoes, & Dill!! These look delicious :)
I’m much more of a sweet potato fan than regular potatoes, but your recipe looks fabulous with all the flavors! I LOVE baked sweet potatoes or sweet potato rounds with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and almond butter. YUM!
xxoo

Helloooooooooooooooo, delicious!! Yes, I love potatoes and those look scrumptious! I want to make veggie bean burgers and those would go great with them. YUM! :D
