Instructions

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet (or use two medium rimmed baking sheets) with parchment paper if you want easier clean-up.
  • Wash and dry the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into roughly 3/4-inch to 1-inch cubes.
  • Spread the potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet(s), leaving a little space between pieces so they roast instead of steam.
  • Drizzle the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  • Toss the potatoes with a spatula or with clean hands until all pieces are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
  • Roast in the preheated 375°F oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet, toss or stir the potatoes to turn them, then increase the oven temperature to 425°F and return the potatoes to the oven.
  • Roast at 425°F for 10 minutes, then toss or stir again and roast for an additional 5 minutes. The potatoes should be golden on some sides and fork-tender.
  • If you want them crispier, continue roasting at 425°F in 5-minute increments, tossing between intervals, until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
  • Taste and add more kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired. Serve immediately.

Equipment

  • 1 large sheet pan

Storage & reheating:
Store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 4 days.
For reheating, I find the easiest wayis to add them to a warm skillet over medium heat, lined with a bit of olive oil. Place the lid over the potatoes and allow them to warm through for 3-4 minutes, then remove the lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until sizzling and hot. Bonus: They get even crispier when you warm them up this way!
