Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes into a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are just tender but not fully cooked.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit to steam-dry for a few minutes. This step ensures crispier potatoes.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped fresh rosemary. Ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and promotes even browning.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Halfway through cooking, flip the potatoes with a spatula to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven.
Serve immediately while hot to enjoy their perfect crispy texture.
