Fantastic Low Sodium Potato Recipes
Potatoes are naturally low in sodium – they naturally contain 5mg of sodium per a 100 ounce serving. They also contain potassium and can be a good source of Vitamin C if you enjoy them with the peels on.
Potatoes are one of our favorite staples on a low sodium diet. We love making crispy oven low sodium fries, making garlic low sodium mashed potatoes, and making low sodium baked potatoes for a low salt side dish.
Ingredients for these Roasted Lemon Potatoes
See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!
Potatoes
I used small yellow new potatoes that I quartered for this recipe. I have also made these with fingerling potatoes that I halved and they turned out great! You could use white potatoes or red potatoes too. Just cut all the potatoes to the same thickness so they cook evenly.
Fresh Garlic
I used chopped garlic cloves to add into the potatoes for added flavor. You could also use garlic powder if desired, but I like to use fresh because it adds a bit more flavor.
Olive Oil
I like the flavor of olive oil, but you can use a different neutral oil like sunflower oil or vegetable oil as well.
Lemon
Fresh lemon juice is key in this recipe to give it the best flavor!
Chicken Broth/Stock
There are a few different types of low/no sodium broth on the market. I’ll break down some options below so you can choose what fits in with your dietary needs. Always check the labels to ensure the sodium content fits in with your needs.
- ‘Low Sodium’ or ‘Reduced Sodium’ Chicken Broth/Stock – even though the packaging says “low or reduced sodium” this broth still often contains salt. It just contains a lower amount than regular chicken broth or stock. The sodium content per serving can range and vary based on brand, I usually stick with an organic low sodium broth.
- ‘Unsalted’ or ‘No Salt Added’ Chicken Broth/Stock – This broth has no added salt, which keeps the sodium content low. It still can contain a low amount of sodium from the natural ingredients that the stock is made of (vegetables/chicken). My recipe for no-salt-added chicken broth is here.
- Sodium Free Bouillon – Bouillon cubes or packets are a great 0 sodium option. You just add water to a cube or powder, and you have broth in minutes. I like these 0mg sodium packets I use in my recipes.
- Homemade Broth/Stock – this is my go-to option for soups, as I can control the ingredients and flavor that goes into the broth. You can follow my low sodium chicken stock recipe here! Add all the ingredients to a large pot, simmer for an hour, strain and enjoy in this soup.
Herbs & Spices
I used dried oregano on the potatoes, and tossed in some fresh parsley after they were finished baking for an herby flavor!
How To Make This Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a casserole dish, or sheet pan with at least 1 inch sides, add the potatoes, garlic, olive oil, chicken stock, oregano, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine and coat the potatoes in the oil, broth, and spice mixture.
- Place casserole dish in the oven, and bake for 50-60 minutes (flip potatoes halfway), until the potatoes are browned and tender.
- Remove from oven, and toss with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
This recipe uses fresh lemon juice, garlic, dried oregano, and fresh parsley as the herbs and spices that add flavor to the potatoes without salt. The potatoes also roast in a bit of no-salt-added chicken stock which gives additional flavor as well.
Absolutely! If you wanted to marinate the potatoes in the olive oil, lemon, garlic, and oregano mixture before baking, you can do so for up to 4 hours.
