Instructions
Roasting Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit
- Prepare your potatoes by scrubbing the skins and cut in half if using bite-sized/baby or into 1-1.5" cubes if using larger potatoes. I prefer to leave the skins on but you can certainly peel them as well.
- After cutting the potatoes, wash them a 2nd time and pat dry.
- Place dried potatoes on a half sheet pan and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a teaspoon of kosher salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper, mix with your clean hands to combine and coat entirely.
- I like to arrange potatoes with the same size up and then at the halfway point, flip them.
- Place in oven with rack in the upper 3rd section and bake for 12 minutes.
- Begin making your garlic oil sauce (see below) while potatoes bake.
- After 12 minutes, remove from oven and flip to the 2nd side and bake for another 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
Garlic Oil Spice Sauce
- Mince your cloves of garlic and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine your spices: coriander, Aleppo pepper and red pepper flakes
- In a small skillet 6-8" heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil on medium low heat for about 30 seconds.
- Quickly add your garlic and spices to the hot oil. Allow to simmer for 30-40 seconds until just becoming fragrant. Once heated and fragrant, immediately move off of heat.
Assemble and Enjoy
- Once potatoes are done, pour your hot oil mixture and a chopped parsley to your potatoes. Mix to combine.
- Check to see if you need additional salt.
- Enjoy with a squeeze of lemon!
Notes
*If using table salt, half the quantity
*Leftovers can be stored in fridge for 5-7 days - heat in skillet or oven to rewarm.
