Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 3
Place the potato cubes into a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are just tender but not fully cooked.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit to steam-dry for a few minutes. This step ensures crispier potatoes.
Step 5
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped fresh rosemary. Ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated.
Step 6
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and promotes even browning.
Step 7
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Halfway through cooking, flip the potatoes with a spatula to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot to enjoy their perfect crispy texture.
