Ingredients

lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized pieces (about ½ to ¾ inch thick)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Kosher salt, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Season the Potatoes:
Place the cut potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined or non-stick 13×18-inch baking sheet, placing the flat sides down for maximum browning.
Add Butter:
Scatter the butter pieces evenly over the potatoes.
Roast the Potatoes:
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and release easily from the pan.
Flip and Continue Roasting:
Using a spatula, carefully flip the potatoes. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15–20 minutes, until golden brown, crispy in spots, and fork-tender.
Finish and Serve:
Sprinkle with kosher salt to taste and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal because they become creamy inside while developing a crisp exterior.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
For extra flavor, add minced garlic during the last 10 minutes of roasting.
Fresh rosemary, thyme, or chives make excellent herb additions.
Leftover roasted potatoes can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
