Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
Seasonings & Oil
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the potatoes to a crisp texture.
- Slice Potatoes: Cut the Yukon gold potatoes in half lengthwise, then slice each half into thin quarter pieces approximately ¼ inch thick for even cooking and crispiness.
- Toss with Oil and Seasonings: Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl, pour olive oil over them, and stir well to coat evenly. Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper and toss to distribute the seasonings uniformly.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Lightly grease a large baking sheet to prevent sticking and spread the seasoned potatoes in a single, even layer to allow for proper roasting.
- Roast Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then stir or flip them to promote even browning and continue roasting until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately another 10 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy for best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary.
- You can substitute garlic powder with fresh minced garlic for a stronger aroma but add it midway to prevent burning.
- Use Yukon gold potatoes for a creamy interior and crisp exterior; other varieties may affect texture.
- Leftover roasted potatoes can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
