Easy Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes

These roasted Yukon Gold potatoes are seasoned with pantry spices and roasted until golden on the outside and tender inside. An easy side dish for almost any meal.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes ((about 4 medium-sized), scrubbed and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
• finely chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, and/or thyme)
• flaky sea salt
• grated Parmesan cheese

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a large baking sheet, or line with parchment paper. Parchment is best for easy cleanup, but bare metal creates better browning.
2. 2In a small bowl, measure out the 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
3. 3To a large bowl, add 2 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil and seasoning. Toss well to coat.
4. 4Arrange the potatoes, cut-side down where possible, in a single layer on the baking sheet. Try to leave space between pieces, but some overlap is okay.
5. 5Roast in preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, using a spatula to flip them over after 12 minutes.
6. 6Cook until the potatoes have a deep golden color, crisp edges, and tender centers.
7. 7Optionally, top with finely chopped fresh herbs, flaky sea salt, and/or grated Parmesan cheese. Serve while hot.
