Yukon Gold potatoes are a popular choice among chefs and home cooks alike, and for good reason. Their unique characteristics set them apart from other potato varieties. With a creamy texture and a naturally buttery flavor, Yukon Golds make an excellent base for roasting. Their waxy flesh ensures that they maintain their shape during cooking, resulting in perfectly roasted slabs that are both tender and satisfying.

Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and dried

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese, to sprinkle on top

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Cut each Yukon Gold potato lengthwise into thick slabs, about ¾-inch thick. You should get 3-4 slabs from each potato, depending on their size.

      Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

        Coat the Slabs: Add the potato slabs to the bowl and gently toss them in the oil and seasoning mixture, ensuring each slab is evenly coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned potato slabs on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between each slab for even roasting.

            Roast the Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the slabs halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

              Garnish: Remove from the oven and let the potato slabs cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chives and grated Parmesan cheese (if using) for a burst of flavor.

                Serve: Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a hearty snack, perhaps with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
