Perfectly Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into 1-2 inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme), for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that perfect crispiness.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure they’re not crowded; this will help them roast beautifully.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through. Keep an eye on them as they cook—you’re looking for a nice golden-brown color.
  5. Once they’re fork-tender and beautifully bronzed, remove them from the oven. If you’re using fresh herbs, sprinkle them on top for an extra burst of flavor.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispiness and buttery goodness of your perfectly roasted Yukon Gold potatoes!

These potatoes are versatile enough to accompany a variety of dishes, but they’re especially delightful alongside roasted meats or as part of a cozy vegetarian meal. Dive in and savor every bite—you won’t be disappointed!
