1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced evenly
1/2 onion, diced evenly

2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 Tbsp parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • 2. Peel sweet potato and then dice both types of potatoes evenly into pieces.
  • 3. Dice onion and mince garlic.
  • 4. Put all of these in a large bowl. Salt and pepper to taste (I use a light hand with the salt and a heavier hand with the pepper).
  • 5. Add the chili powder and parsley. Stir well until mixed.

  • 7. Mix well to coat all the veggies.

  • 12. NOTE: I added another picture that includes carrots and Brussels sprouts into the mix. I added 14 Brussels sprouts, cleaned and halved and about 12 small organic finger carrots quartered. I have added red peppers as well, but didn't have any in the fridge today! I also use kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, but regular table varieties will work fine too!

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (3 to 4 medium), peeled
1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes (2 medium), peeled
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick slices with a handheld slicer or sharp knife, keeping potato varieties separate.
  • Brush an ovenproof 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet with some butter. Starting in center of pan, arrange about 20 Yukon Gold slices, slightly overlapping, in a circular pattern, covering surface. Brush with butter and generously season with salt and pepper. Make next layer with sweet-potato slices; brush with butter and season. Repeat, alternating colors. Drizzle remaining butter on top of potatoes.
  • Cook potatoes over medium-high heat until butter vigorously bubbles in pan, about 4 minutes. Transfer to oven and bake 30 minutes. Tent loosely with foil and continue to bake until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven, and run a heatproof flexible spatula around edges of potatoes to loosen. Let cool; carefully invert onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes are both excellent choices for roasting, as they have a naturally sweet flavor and creamy texture. You can also use other types of potatoes, such as russet or red potatoes, but they may have a different flavor and texture.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This will help them brown and develop a flavorful crust. You can use any type of oil you like, such as olive oil, vegetable oil, or melted butter. As for seasonings, you can use a simple combination of salt and pepper, or you can get creative with herbs, spices, and other flavorings.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The ideal roasting temperature is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Stir the potatoes halfway through roasting: This will help them cook evenly. You can also use a spatula to gently flip the potatoes over.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Roasted potatoes are best served hot and fresh. You can garnish them with chopped herbs, grated cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Roasted Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a simple and satisfying side dish, give roasted potatoes a try!
