Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped optional
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Heart-shaped cookie cutter (2-3 inches)
  • Oven
  • Oven thermometer (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if you prefer, or leave the skins on.
  3. Cut the potatoes into slices about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes from the potato slices.
  5. Save the potato scraps for later use.
  6. In a large bowl, toss the heart-shaped potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  7. If using rosemary or red pepper flakes, add them now and toss again.
  8. Arrange the seasoned potato hearts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (if using).
  9. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges and tender on the inside.
  10. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  11. Remove the Roasted Heart Potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  12. Serve as a side dish, snack, or appetizer.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, ensure your oven is at the correct temperature and avoid overcrowding the pan. Pat the potatoes dry before tossing with oil and seasonings. Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or in a skillet with a little oil until crispy. Variations: Garlic Herb (minced garlic, thyme, oregano, parsley), Spicy (increase red pepper flakes or add cayenne pepper), Lemon Herb (lemon zest, dill or parsley).
