Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Salt (1 teaspoon or to taste)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon or to taste)
  • Paprika (1 teaspoon)
  • Onion powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Nutritional yeast (2 tablespoons, plus extra for serving)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Potatoes (2 pounds, cubed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the potatoes from sticking and helps them crisp up.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with the olive oil until well coated. This helps the seasonings stick and gives the potatoes a nice, golden crust.
  3. Add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
  4. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they're not overlapping, as this can prevent them from crisping up.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve hot, sprinkled with additional nutritional yeast if desired. This adds an extra burst of cheesy flavor.
