Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Cooking Fat:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a sizzling 425°F (220°C), ensuring the rack sits in the center position for even heating.
- Thoroughly rinse 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes under cool water, using a vegetable brush to remove any dirt from the skin.
- Slice potatoes into uniform 1-inch chunks, keeping the pieces roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
- Grab a spacious mixing bowl and pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the potato pieces.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon dried rosemary across the potatoes.
- Toss the potatoes with your hands, making sure each piece gets completely coated with oil and seasonings.
- Transfer the seasoned potatoes onto a large rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer with some breathing room between pieces.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes, then pull out the sheet and flip each chunk to ensure crispy edges on all sides.
- Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until your potatoes develop a gorgeous golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
- Remove from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 2-3 minutes before serving them piping hot.
Notes
- Cutting potatoes into uniform sizes ensures even cooking and helps achieve that perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Preheating the baking sheet before adding potatoes creates an instant crisp when they hit the hot surface.
- Use fresh rosemary for the most vibrant flavor, but dried works well if that’s what you have on hand.
- For a gluten-free and dairy-free option, this recipe is naturally compliant with most dietary restrictions.
