Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 10 leaves Fresh sage leaves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 3

Cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are as uniform as possible for even cooking.

Step 4

Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 6

Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading the potatoes out into a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 7

Distribute the fresh sage leaves and sliced garlic cloves evenly among the potatoes, tucking some under the cubes to prevent them from burning.

Step 8

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside, remove them from the oven.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a delicious side dish, garnished with additional sage leaves if desired.
