Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have space to roast evenly.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the spicy tomato sauce. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the crushed garlic cloves to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and burst.
Stir in the tomato paste, crushed red pepper flakes, and remaining 0.5 teaspoon salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
Pour in the vegetable broth and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and use the back of a spoon to gently mash some of the cherry tomatoes for a chunkier sauce, or leave them whole for a more rustic presentation.
When the potatoes are finished roasting, transfer them to a serving dish and spoon the spicy tomato sauce over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
