Lemon and Parmesan potatoes are a simple and naturally delicious side dish: the potatoes are seasoned with a citronette made of lemon juice and covered with plenty of Parmesan cheese that will create a golden, crispy, and delicious crust during cooking.
For this recipe, I used red skin potatoes which are my favorite variety for oven baking.

Start preparing the lemon and parmesan potatoes with the dressing: put the extra virgin olive oil in a bowl; add a crushed garlic clove, the juice of one lemon, salt, black pepper, and a tablespoon of dried oregano.
Mix everything with a whisk or fork and set aside.
Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly with a straight blade knife or better yet with a mandoline to have them all the same thickness.
Transfer them into a bowl and season with the lemon dressing, making sure to leave some aside for the baking dish.
Grease a baking dish with the marinade and arrange the potatoes in a spiral.
Add plenty of grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake the lemon and Parmesan potatoes in a preheated convection oven at 428°F for about 25 minutes: a nice golden crust should form on the surface of the potatoes.
Serve them immediately while hot.

For a more elegant presentation of this recipe, you can prepare these potatoes in single-serving portions by dividing them into four smaller baking dishes. Instead of oregano, you can use sage or rosemary.
