- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

- 6 lemon wedges, for serving
Method
Step One
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). In the meantime, cut your red potatoes into quarters or smaller size depending on your preference. But make sure they are uniform so they cook evenly.

Add the cut potatoes to the bowl of mixture. Toss it all together until the potatoes are coated evenly with the mixture.
Step Four
Transfer the coated potatoes onto a baking sheet and spread out in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Give them a good toss midway through cooking to ensure an even roast.
Step Five
Once done, remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and let them cool off a bit before serving. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh tangy taste if desired. Enjoy your Lesser Calamint Roasted Potatoes hot or warm.
