  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (cut into 1-inch pieces)

Seasoning & Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons oil (avocado or olive)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 ½ - 2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

Cheese & Garnish

  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated, divided)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the potatoes perfectly, getting them crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  2. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and cut the Yukon gold potatoes into 1-inch chunks or quarters if they’re small. This size helps them cook evenly and get nicely roasted.
  3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the cut potatoes and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly in this flavorful mixture. Then sprinkle in ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and toss again to cover the potatoes well.
  4. Bake in the Oven: Spread the coated potatoes out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arranging them in a single layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to promote even browning and crispness.
  5. Serve: Once roasted to a beautiful golden brown, transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and the chopped parsley over the top for extra flavor and a fresh finish. Enjoy your delicious roasted Yukon gold potatoes!

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust salt according to your taste preferences.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through baking to ensure even roasting.
  • For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
  • Can be served as a side to meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
