These roasted potatoes are slightly crispy on the outside and perfectly seasoned. I made them the other night with marinated filets of salmon, which I baked at the same time at the same temperature — 450F (230C) degrees. You could try this ginger honey salmon, another recipe that uses a 450F-degree oven. I strongly suggest using fresh cracked pepper for the potatoes, rather than just ground pepper, since it gives the potatoes just the right amount of spice.

The recipe uses Yukon Gold potatoes, which are about the size of large plums and have a thin golden skin. Total baking time is 40 minutes.

Serves 4

6 gold potatoes, cut into large chunks, about 1.5 inches
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly cracked pepper
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Heat oven to 450F/230C degrees. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, then arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes, stir the potatoes around, and bake for another 20 minutes.
