Golden Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for added color)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
- Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they roast evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite main course.
Enjoy these Golden Potatoes as a delicious and versatile accompaniment to any meal!
