Ingredients

• 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra flavor and texture. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure that the potatoes are evenly coated in the seasoning mixture.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned potatoes out evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer to ensure they roast properly.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 6

After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the potatoes cool for 2-3 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious roasted potatoes and cheese!
