Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out to allow maximum crispiness.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish while still hot.
Sprinkle the warm potatoes with crumbled blue cheese evenly, allowing it to slightly melt from the residual heat.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and chives for added freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a comforting treat.
