Ingredients

• 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1.5 tsp Kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes (optional, depending on your preference). Cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about 1 inch large, for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.

Step 4

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and let the potatoes simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for 2-3 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate. Shake the colander gently to rough up the edges of the potatoes—this helps them crisp up in the oven.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss the slightly roughened potatoes in this mixture until they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Spread the coated potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have space to crisp up (avoid overcrowding).

Step 8

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then use a spatula to flip them over for even browning. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your crunchy roasty potatoes!
