Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare your baking pan by greasing it lightly with olive oil.
  2. Toss the sliced Yukon Gold potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil until evenly coated, then spread them in a single layer on the baking pan.
  3. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 22-28 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning.
  4. Whisk together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and remaining olive oil in a separate bowl, adding minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  5. Fold in thinly sliced red onion and freshly chopped basil into the dressing and let it sit.
  6. Once roasted, combine the potatoes with the dressing, gently toss, and serve warm.
