Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into 1 to 1.5-inch cubes for even roasting.
In a large bowl, combine the potato cubes with extra virgin olive oil, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
Add the salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the potatoes. Toss well to ensure even seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not crowded so they can crisp up nicely.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to achieve uniform browning.
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork; they should be tender and golden brown.
Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Garnish the roasted potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added touch of freshness and flavor.
