Ingredients

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Paprika (smoked or sweet)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrients.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into approximately 1-inch cubes, ensuring uniform sizes for even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes. Mix well to form a seasoning blend.

Step 5

Add the potato cubes to the seasoning blend and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overcrowded. Overcrowding can cause them to steam instead of roasting.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning. The potatoes should be golden and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.

Step 8

Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes for a burst of color and fresh flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Enjoy!
