Roasted Potatoes Recipe
Description
This Roasted Potatoes Recipe uses Yukon Gold potatoes cut into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Coated in olive oil and seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper, the potatoes are arranged in a single layer for optimal roasting. Butter is dotted on top, melting into the potatoes, adding richness and helping create a golden, slightly crispy exterior while keeping the interior soft.
Roasting at 425ºF ensures the potatoes brown nicely and develop a pleasing texture contrast. Flipping them partway through promotes even browning on all sides. The final sprinkle of kosher salt adds a finishing touch of seasoning, and chopped parsley provides a fresh herbal note and visual appeal.
This side pairs well with many main dishes by providing a satisfying crispy and creamy potato experience. It is versatile for weeknight dinners or special meals.
