FAJITA SPICED OVEN POTATOES
This is my latest attempt at creating a tasty but fairly low fat 'fry'. I was aiming to have them be Mexican inspired which is why I went for the lime instead of lemon in the mix.

PORCHETTA-SPICED ROASTED POTATOES
The flavors of Italian porchetta - garlic, fennel, rosemary, sage, thyme and black pepper - infuse the olive oil that coats these potatoes for an intensely fragrant, golden and crisp side dish. The herb seasoning is added halfway through roasting to prevent it from burning, as well as to maintain the herbs' fresh and vibrant flavors. These potatoes can accompany any large roast, such as beef, pork, turkey and chicken, and also pair beautifully with fish like salmon and cod. With the addition of some mayonnaise and chopped fresh celery, leftovers can be turned into a zesty potato salad.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine 2 tablespoons of the oil and potatoes, and season with salt; toss to evenly coat. Spread in an even layer and roast until light golden, 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, garlic, fennel, thyme, rosemary, sage, black pepper and red-pepper flakes, and season to taste with salt; mix well.
- Spoon the herb mixture over the potatoes and toss until evenly coated, using a spatula to lift up the potatoes if necessary. Continue roasting until the potatoes are fragrant, golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
- Transfer potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
Tips:
- To achieve crispy potatoes, ensure you cut them into even-sized wedges or cubes. This promotes uniform cooking and prevents some pieces from remaining undercooked while others burn.
- For a more flavorful experience, opt for Yukon Gold or red potatoes, as they tend to hold their shape better during the roasting process compared to russet potatoes.
- Before tossing the potatoes with the fajita seasoning, pat them dry using paper towels. This removes excess moisture, allowing the seasoning to adhere better and resulting in a more flavorful outcome.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of fajita seasoning blend based on your personal preference. If you enjoy a bolder flavor, add more seasoning, or tone it down for a milder taste.
- Keep a close eye on the potatoes during roasting to ensure they don't overcook. The ideal texture should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
