Description
These Crispy Roasted Yellow Potatoes are a perfect side dish featuring tender Yukon Gold potatoes coated in olive oil and a savory blend of spices, then roasted to golden perfection in the oven for a deliciously crispy texture.
Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3 pounds yellow potatoes (Yukon Gold)
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Rinse and thoroughly dry the potatoes to ensure crispiness.
- Slice Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into chunks between ½ inch to 1 inch in size. Pat the potato chunks dry again with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Toss with Oil and Spices: In a large bowl, combine the potato chunks with olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to promote even roasting.
- First Roast: Roast the potatoes on the middle oven rack for 20 minutes. Afterward, remove the baking sheet and flip the potatoes, stirring them to ensure even browning, especially from the edges to the center.
- Second Roast: Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are dried well before roasting for maximum crispiness.
- Flipping and stirring halfway through cooking helps achieve even browning.
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and golden color.
- Adjust seasoning to taste or add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
