Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ pounds red mini creamer potatoes

3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
Parsley flakes (fresh or dried)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 385°F (195°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and soak them in a bowl of cold water mixed with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Carefully carve skull faces into each potato and place them back in the lemon water to prevent browning.
In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, remaining lemon juice, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and parsley flakes.
Drain the potatoes and toss them in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
Place the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and tender.
