This oven roasted Yukon gold potatoes recipe is perfect, simple, and crispy. Half the potatoes, add oil, and roast uncovered at 425F ~ 25 min.

Ingredients

  • 6 small yukon gold potatoes, peeled & halved
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.  Lightly oil the baking sheet.
  • Toss the peeled and halved potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper (in a bowl or on the pan).  Place potatoes flat side down (see picture) and cook for ~15 minutes. The potatoes may not be golden yet.  They may stick to the pan.  Take a thin spatula and slightly nudge them off (see video).
  • Flip and cook for an additional 12-15 minutes or until tender and brown.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • I don't coat the aluminum foil or baking sheet with olive oil because the potatoes should have enough.  If you have problems with the roasted potatoes sticking, try coating the aluminum or pan with a little bit of olive oil.
  • Wanna up your game?  Add some fresh chopped parsley, chives, cheese, or sour cream.
  • This dish is easy to add some roasted baby carrots.  Just put them all on the same pan but carrots will cook faster.
  • Potatoes not browning?  Try upping your oven temperature to 450F but watch carefully.
  • The potatoes may not be browned when you initially turn them over.  If your oven works correctly then they will brown when flipped over in the last 15 minutes of cooking.
