Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- Salt
- Pepper
Cooking Liquid:
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to 425°F and position a rack in the center for optimal roasting.
- Thoroughly cleanse your Yukon Gold potatoes under cool running water, scrubbing away any dirt. Chop them into precise 1-inch cubes for consistent cooking.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a spacious mixing bowl. Add your potato chunks and toss until each piece glistens evenly with oil.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Gently fold the ingredients to ensure every chunk is seasoned.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Distribute your seasoned potato chunks in a single layer, ensuring they’re not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated 425°F oven. Roast for 15 minutes, then remove and flip the potatoes using tongs to promote even browning.
- Continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes until your potatoes display a gorgeous golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the crispy edges to set perfectly.
Notes
- Always choose medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes for consistent roasting and the best crispy exterior.
- Cut potatoes into uniform chunks to ensure even cooking and a perfect golden-brown texture.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- For extra crispiness, pat the potato chunks completely dry before seasoning and roasting.
