Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
Cut the potatoes into approximately 1-inch cubes, keeping the skin on for added fiber.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with olive oil, fresh rosemary, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and paprika. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Spread the seasoned potato cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer to allow even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Stir the potatoes halfway through the baking time to ensure they roast evenly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Baked Golden Potatoes warm, as a side dish to your favorite main course.
