Easy Lemon Garlic Butter Fingerling Potatoes – The Ultimate Side Dish

This is one of those side dishes that quietly steals the show. These lemon garlic butter fingerling potatoes are soft, tender, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of zesty brightness from fresh lemon juice. They’re low-effort, high-reward—and go perfectly with steak, roast chicken, or even a big green salad.

Everything gets tossed into one pan—mini potatoes, melted butter, a hit of chicken bouillon, and a splash of lemon. Bake covered, then uncovered to let them soak up the goodness and get a little golden on the outside. So simple, yet totally satisfying.

🥔 Ingredients:

• 2–3 cups mini potatoes

• 250 ml boiling water

• 1 tbsp chicken bouillon

• 6 cloves garlic, pressed

• 2 tbsp butter

• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• Salt & pepper, to taste

🔪 Directions:

1. Prep the Potatoes
   Rinse and dry your potatoes, then place them in a baking pan.

2. Add Flavor
   Pour in the boiling water, add chicken bouillon, butter, pressed garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper directly into the pan.

3. Bake Covered
   Cover tightly with foil and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.

4. Stir & Bake Again
   Remove the foil, give the potatoes a good stir to coat them in the melted butter and bouillon. Bake uncovered for another 20 minutes.

5. Rest & Finish
   Take them out, give another gentle stir or rotate, and let them sit for 6 minutes. Drizzle over a bit more lemon juice right before serving.

Serve warm with your favorite main—these buttery, lemony potatoes go with everything. They're soft, garlicky, and melt-in-your-mouth good.

Enjoy!
