Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes cubed
  • 1 tsp sea salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3 tbsp extra light olive oil
  • 1 tbsp parsley finely chopped, optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the potatoes roast crispy.
  • Wash and scrub Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Cut into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
  • Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing with a spatula halfway through for even browning.
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot alongside your favorite breakfast dishes.

Notes

  • Use avocado oil instead of olive oil for a higher smoke point and different flavor.
  • Try swapping sea salt with garlic powder or onion powder for less sodium and extra flavor.
  • Sweet potatoes make a nutritious and sweeter alternative to Yukon Gold potatoes.
  • Add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a fragrant twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
