Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

6 large cloves of garlic, finely minced

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish

Zest of 1 lemon (optional for a zesty finish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A high temperature is essential for achieving that golden, crispy exterior on the potatoes.

    Prepare the Potato Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the halved baby Yukon Gold potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated to maximize flavor.

      Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Place them with the cut sides facing down, which will help them develop a lovely crispy crust.

        Roasting Time: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 30 to 35 minutes. About halfway through roasting, carefully toss the potatoes or flip them with a spatula for even browning and crispiness.

          Check for Doneness: The potatoes are ready when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining fork-tender on the inside. If you desire extra crispiness, extend the roasting time by an additional 5 to 10 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.

            Garnish and Serve: Once perfectly roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle generously with fresh chopped parsley and, if using, add a sprinkle of lemon zest for a bright, zesty finish.

              Enjoy: Serve your crispy garlic potatoes warm and crispy as a delicious side dish or a delightful snack!
