Crispy Oven-Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes with Garlic

Ingredients

- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for optimal roasting.

2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt.
- Dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel.
- Cut the potatoes into even 1-inch cubes for uniform cooking.

3. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed potatoes.
- Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the potatoes for even coating.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, and fresh ground black pepper.
- Toss all ingredients together until the potatoes are well coated.

4. Arrange for Roasting:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between pieces for optimal crisping.

5. Roast the Potatoes:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Check for doneness: the potatoes should be golden-brown and fork-tender.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving dish.
- Optional: Garnish with additional fresh-ground black pepper to taste.
