Ingredients

  • 2 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

For Garnish

For the Yogurt Sauce

  • ⅔ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or use a nonstick baking sheet).
  • Rinse the potatoes under cold water, and dry with a kitchen towel. Then, cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • Place the cut potatoes in a large mixing bowl and toss them with melted butter, olive oil, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the baking sheet, making sure that they are spaced out and not overlapping.
  • Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes, and then take them out and flip them over.
  • Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy, golden-brown, and tender. If necessary, turn the potatoes again and continue roasting until done.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven, and sprinkle with chopped parsley and Parmesan.
  • Cool for a few minutes before serving with the yogurt sauce, if using.

For the Yogurt Sauce

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to use.

Notes

  • Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, but most importantly, you want even, bite-sized pieces.
  • Swap half the potatoes with carrots for a different flavor and texture.
  • If you don't like rosemary, you can use your favorite fresh (or dried) herbs.
