Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Make sure each piece is evenly coated.
Crush the garlic cloves slightly with the flat side of a knife, but leave them whole. Add the garlic cloves and rosemary to the bowl and toss lightly to combine.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren't overcrowded to ensure crispness.
Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, use a spatula to flip the potatoes for even browning.
Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Discard the garlic cloves (or keep them if you enjoy their roasty flavor) and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for garnish (if desired).
Serve the potatoes hot as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Enjoy!
