Method

Preparing the Potatoes

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Wash and Cut Potatoes

    Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Season Potatoes

    Add salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the potatoes. Toss well to coat evenly.

Roasting the Potatoes

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.

    Roast Potatoes

    Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through until they are crispy and golden brown.

Making Guanciale Calabrian Chili Butter

  1. 6

    Cook Guanciale

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the diced guanciale. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add the Calabrian chili paste and unsalted butter to the skillet. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined.

Finishing the Dish
