Instructions

• Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key for achieving that golden, crispy exterior.
• Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes - Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but the skin adds a lovely texture and flavor. Cut each potato into quarters or sixths, depending on their size, aiming for uniform pieces for even cooking.
• Step 3: Season the Potatoes - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated with the seasonings.
• Step 4: Spread on the Baking Sheet - Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on your baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t overcrowded, as this will help them roast rather than steam.
• Step 5: Roast the Potatoes - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. You want them to be golden brown and crispy on the outside while soft and fluffy on the inside.
• Step 6: Taste and Adjust Seasoning - Once the potatoes are done roasting, taste one and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
• Step 7: Serve and Enjoy - Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and enjoy your delicious Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes!
