These garlic roasted potatoes are simply the best! If you love garlic, you will love this easy vegan recipe. Nutritional yeast gives these potatoes a great cheesy flavor.
We love potatoes at our house. We love seasoned roasted potatoes, oven baked French fries, and dairy free scalloped potatoes.
Today I want to share another favorite – these cheesy garlic roasted potatoes. These are cheesy-tasting, but not from dairy cheese! They get their savory flavor from nutritional yeast.
This side dish is made with Yukon Gold potatoes and a good amount of fresh garlic resulting in a deliciously savory and buttery flavor.

Ingredient Notes
- Potatoes – I love making roasted potatoes with Yukon Gold potatoes. They have a naturally buttery flavor that’s so delicious. If you don’t have that variety, you could also use red skin potatoes. They would also work well.
- Garlic – I recommend using fresh garlic cloves in this recipe. You could use garlic past if that’s what you have available.
- Nutritional Yeast – Nutritional yeast is a pretty common ingredient that adds cheesy flavor to vegan recipes. If you can’t find a brand that works for your dietary needs, you can leave it out if you like. Nutritional yeast is gluten free, and a good source of protein, fiber, and B vitamins.
Tips for Success
- Use a rimmed cookie sheet to make sure the oil doesn’t drip into the oven.
- Line the pan with parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
- Stir the potatoes often throughout cooking time to make sure they cook evenly.
Storage
Store leftover potatoes in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 4 days.
Reheating
You can reheat them in the microwave or in the oven at 350 degrees F. If you use the oven, they will probably be a little crispier than if you use the microwave. You can also use the toaster oven, but keep an eye on them, because they can burn if you aren’t careful.
