Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes with extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, black pepper, and kosher salt. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fork-tender. Halfway through cooking, stir the potatoes to ensure even browning.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted Yukon potatoes as a nutritious and heart-healthy side dish for any meal.
